Asteroid City

I wouldn't really call it a return to form for Wes Anderson, but it's definitely a return to normalcy. No messy anthology structures, no stop-motion weirdness, just a simple narrative elevated by Anderson's witty comedy and detailed styling. As such, it's not one of his most remarkable films, but it sure is a blast to sit through. The cast is tremendous, the use of color is magnificent, the soundtrack is perfectly in line with the visuals and the comedy is pleasant, but with a cheeky dark streak. I'm not surprised Anderson managed to pull this off flawlessly, he's done so before, it's just that I don't mind when it's so skillfully executed. A lovely film.
