Asteroid City (2023)

Never again, Anderson
24 September 2023
Visually very original and interesting, but a movie has to actually DO SOMETHING. Man, what a total mess, the only plot is "talk to the other characters and act strange". Wow, what a complete waste of time. I did really enjoy Jojo Rabbit, so I like quirky movies, but Anderson's stuff is so off the deep end and self-indulgent and again, nothing happens. Just acting strange and talking in a strange, mechanical way is not a movie. Maybe Anderson should become a painter, paintings don't talk, but his visual style is interesting. Also this movie keeps changing between color and black and white AND different aspect ratios, so either a good chunk of the picture top and bottom was off my screen, or there is a huge black border around the screen if I align the picture for the 6x4 aspect ratio, annoying as hell. I will never waste my time on any of his movies in the future, I have no clue why so many major actors think his projects are worth doing, are they all that self-involved that they think that acting in this artsy crap is impressive? It is not.
