Asteroid City Review: Wes Anderson Delights and Confounds with His Most Abstract Film

Junior stargazers, their parents, and the military descend on a small desert town for a science competition. What they encounter will change their lives forever. At least that's what the playwright thinks should be the plot of his untitled play, according to the TV narrator telling the audience at home about the playwright, actors, director, and issues behind the scenes staging the play. Asteroid City depicts three different narratives at once. Drum roll please, it is a film...within a film...within a film. Auteur Wes Anderson delivers his most abstract cinematic endeavor yet. It's a lot to digest and puzzling at times, but boldly creative and loaded with good humor.
