Wes Anderson is so meticulous in everything he does with his movies that it's unlikely he would ever really lose control over his vision. But that doesn't mean he can't take it too far to the potential detriment of an audience's ability to enjoy it as much as he does. This appears to be the case with Asteroid City.
The latest movie from Anderson follows a group of people who arrive in the small desert town of Asteroid City for a Junior Stargazer convention that becomes disrupted by the arrival of an extraterrestrial being. It should be no surprise that the people of Asteroid City are a bunch of big names, including Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jeffrey Wright, Tilda Swinton, Steve Carrell, Liev Schreiber, Maya Hawke, Matt Dillon and Rupert Friend.
