Navigating Wes Anderson's 'Asteroid City': A Review

Wes Anderson's latest film, "Asteroid City," is a meta-movie set in a mid-20th-century Western American town that is presented as a "play" within a black-and-white television show. The main story follows the relationship between two chaperones at a space camp, set against the backdrop of a quarantine imposed on the town after an alien spaceship arrives and steals an asteroid. The film features Anderson's signature production design and kooky character names, but ultimately falls flat with few standout moments.
