Asteroid City. The smb will know

[pRICK]

I’m going to have to watch it again as it flew right over my head the first time

Most of the movie you are watching the play. Then there's a few scenes outside of the play, mainly with Edward Norton's character and Jason Schwartzman as an actor

Do enjoy a Wes Anderson fillum. Shall check it out.

If you came across it accidentally while channel hopping you would realise within a couple of minutes that it is a Wes Anderson film.

I enjoyed it but the Mrs who isn’t familiar with his stuff was a bit nonplussed

Looks absolutely cack.

 

[Sneech]

its canny, those who are hard of thinking should avoid it though

Tried to watch on a flight last week, got about 30 minutes in and turned it off. Maybe it's me but I couldn't get into it.

 

[Fred Army]

I usually like Wes Anderson films but really struggled to get into this one.
Visually it was great but the rest I found completely unengaging.
Might give it another go though, it's possible I just wasn't in the mood when I watched it.

 

[the dude]

I've not seen it but what I will say is that The French Dispatch was utter shite. Shame as I normally like his films. Fantastic Mr Fox was great.

My head is still aching with trying to work it out

Haha. That's the main reason anyone watches a Wes Anderosn film, isn't it? To feel a sense of superiority. The man's a charlatan and his films are largely pretentious nonsense. Hipster trash.

 

[MagicRat]

Watched it last night and had no idea

Yeah, the best thing about French Despatch was the spin off Jarvis Cocker album.
Fantastic Mr Fox is my fave of his.

 

[Monument View]

Most things on Sky are arty farty or luvvie back slapping crap.
IMO of course
Hate stuff like Oscars or Sci fi bumph
But I’m probably going off topic

I've seen it and enjoyed it. I do like Wes Anderson films tbh.

It's the story of a play called Asteroid City, wherein the main character (Jason Schwartzman) and his kids go to Asteroid City for a junior scientists awards ceremony as the eldest is a participant. Many others come to town for it and all of the kids participating are geniuses. The town gets locked down by the US gov't/military due to alien activity.

My description isn't great, but that's the basics.

I went to the pictures to see it. Exactly as above. Quirky and beautifully shot

 

[Iballistic George]

We tried to watch it. Got an hour in and had to turn it off. Absolute shite

 

[den]

Worst film I have ever watched

I love the set design and cinematography of it

 

[Horace Cope]

It's a film about a documentary talking about a play. Average at best but Wes Anderson and a stellar cast so it got rave reviews
