Something has happened to Wes. His last attempts to entertain, included Isle of dogs, The French Dispatch, and Asteroid City. I just spent 6 bucks renting Asteroid, and it sucks. Somebody needs to….well, in all truthfulness, his best work might be behind him. I love his movies, but I despise the latest three.
I’m a huge Wes Anderson fan, and Asteroid City was the first film of his that I’ve outright disliked.
It felt to me like he was doing a parody of a Wes Anderson film. I found it incredibly dull, and nothing really happened. VERY disappointing.
