Don’t listen to these 1-star reviews. This movie is a masterpiece. It is brilliantly funny, emotionally resonant, and philosophically meaningful. Every moment is full of subtle brilliance, from the kid saying “Do you dare me?” to Steve Carell and the vending machines selling real estate to the way it depicts the passion of neurodivergent kids. It is about grief. It is about art. It is about death. It is about beauty. It is about wonder. It is about the limitations of human understanding. It is about life itself. And Dear Alien (Who Art in Heaven) is a bop. Of course the movie isn’t for everyone (the humor is incredibly dry, the performances are in typical deadpan Wes Anderson Style, and storylines don’t necessarily “resolve”), but for those it is for, Asteroid City is absolutely an easy 5/5. Wes has done it again.
