I loved it when Augie walked out of the scene near the end to ask the director what the play meant ~ you could see the audience through the half open door!

Scarlet saying she's playing an actor, playing a character who's rehearsing for another role is mind blowing. It's fair to say there's a lot of deconstructing the form of storytelling here, which could easily be portrayed as naval gazing, but it is beautiful

This is clearly Wes Anderson’s masterpiece. Completely blown away from every shot, every character, the dialogue, the lack of dialogue, the music.

Even the behind the scenes is so aggressively Wes Anderson. Can't wait to see it

1:24 - That's the kinda film making I love right there!

This for me was the Film of the year and Wes Anderson's Best Film yet! He's such an inspiration. I hope to see more

It’s a GORGEOUS film. And I understood the concept but had no idea what each scene meant - how it connected. But I had a lot of fun deconstructing the scenic elements and shot techniques.

I just LOVED the practical effects and miniatures used in the film.

Just saw it. I will have to rewatch it ...maybe another two times to fully de-construct each scene and it's meaning. So multidimensional and touching so many subjects. Wes Anderson makes you think (while teasing your cornea!). And that's rare in today's filmography.

The bird is obviously a scene stealer. Any other director that bird would be CGI. Wes is a genius!

Just seen it and loved it. It resonated with my brain, I grinned through half the film and I could watch the intro train ride for hours. Some of the most enjoyable pieces of cinematography that will probably ever exist. It will probably take me years and at least one more viewing with subtitles to catch most details and make more sense of it and I'm already looking forward to hour long youtube videos unraveling the different story arcs and points. But even if you don't really "get it" it's still just such a joy if you have any sense for whimsical or were/are an imaginative child.
Funny to hear about the General as a performer. That's what I got too but I really liked it. Like that general actually wished he was a stage performer instead and now is his time to shine. And I thought he did admirably.

Jeffrey Wright was the standout performances in this film. He was great in French Dispatch but was on another level in Asteroid City. Particularly, the General’s scene where he’s rushing through the story of his whole life and Wright’s precise delivery really sold the character. I really hope he becomes a regular.

Just came from seing the movie, blown away. Had such a great time.

[blakecannon]

This movie was great. Just watched it today for the first time. Can’t wait to watch it again. It was just so creative.

[serwinzzalot]

Scary thing is Wes is getting better. He's trimming all the fat and going deeper with his characters in the most minimalist of ways but also giving so much.

[KillerTacos]

This movie looks so incredible good! I can't wait to watch

[malice]

I saw it a bit ago and I can't comprehend what was in it nor could I make out anything in it. It was a fantastic movie and I would watch again

[dianewiegel]

I loved this movie, very creative and magical

[travislong]

The dancing road runner was a nice ending shot

[loganwelty]

One of my favorite movies of the year. Another banger from Wes!
