”Wes Anderson is a film artist like no other. In defiance of realism, he builds dazzling, minimalist, all-star jewel boxes—easy to spoof but impossible to equal. This Atomic-age fable about teen space nerds and their parents tinges fun with true feeling.”

“’Asteroid City’ both meets and exceeds the sumptuous artistry and fastidious invention of his [Anderson] previous work.”

“An absolute delight…Anderson’s best since ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel.’ It practically begs you to sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself.”

"Asteroid City’s eccentricity, its elegance, its gaiety, and its sheer profusion of detail within the tableau frame make it such a pleasure. So, too, does its dapper styling of classic American pop culture."

"There has always been a method to Wes Anderson’s madness, but Asteroid City reminds you that there is also a madness to his method. And that, ultimately, is what makes him a great artist."

"Wes Anderson returns with one of his most dazzling, rich and playfully self-reflexive films to date, brought to eye-popping life by an all-timer ensemble."
