Following a writer on his world famous fictional play about a grieving father who travels with his tech-obsessed family to small rural Asteroid City to compete in a junior stargazing event, only to have his world view disrupted forever.

The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.

Critics Reviews

• “The film is, for the most part, a delight. I would never miss a Wes Anderson movie, and I encourage anyone looking for something offbeat and original to go and see Asteroid City.” – David Stratton (The Australian)

• “As usual, I marvelled at the richly furnished nature of Anderson’s ima­gination, but I couldn’t help looking back on earlier, simpler times in his career.” – Sandra Hall (Sydney Morning Herald)

• “A great return to form for Wes Anderson… This feels like his best movie since Moonrise Kingdom.” – Christy Lemire (FilmWeek (KPCC – NPR Los Angeles))

• “Asteroid City doesn’t represent Anderson in peak form but it’s an occasionally enjoyable diversion that offers enough smiles and low-key laughs to paper over a few the filmmaker’s an­noying tendencies.” – James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
