Asteroid City

2023 · Comedy, Drama · Wes Anderson

At 21% across 71 head-to-head matchups, Asteroid City is still building its BingeBracket record. A 1955 desert town, a Junior Stargazer convention, an alien who drops in and makes off with the meteorite, and atom-bomb tests going off on the horizon like weather. It's Anderson's most nested film, and the hardest of them to recommend to anyone who hasn't already seen three. It ranks among the weakest 2020s performers on the platform.

Synopsis

In an American desert town circa 1955, the itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
