Asteroid City (2023)
8/10
Do Not Write Off this Film (7.75/10)

Warning: Spoilers
I've never gone into a film before with such low expectations. I had read the poor reviews and was totally dis-swayed, the only reason I did end up actually seeing it was because it was the only film playing in town that I haven't already seen. So I wasn't all that jazzed about seeing it.

But... uhhhhh

Did I see the same movie as the rest of you?!

I have no idea why this film has such horrible reviews?! My friends, it is a Wes Anderson film! What did you expect? This is so very Wes Anderson! It's so utterly quirky and delightful, just like all of his other films! Mind you, it's wildly bizarre, and unlike any other film you'll see in the theater but for heaven sakes it was fun! It's absurdity was laugh out loud funny, like all of Wes' other films! It was an engaging story! Every shot was absolutely beautiful! It was a really pleasant time!

Do not write off this movie because of the poor reviews, set your expectations to the "Wes Anderson" level and you'll have a really wonderful, bizzare time.
