The movie tries to have artsy talk that bordered on boring. Great names starred in this movie but if you don’t like watching a fake looking movie set with cute phrases that get old fast, stay home. Both my friend and I walked out half way through and the first half was truly tedious.
Boring movie, I kept waiting for it to get better, but it didn’t even seem to have a plot.
Someone should tell Anderson that weird doesn't necessarily make a movie funny or enjoyable. Dude, have someone tell you the truth before you pass go
Typical actors need paychecks movie. One funny moment when alien returns asteroid on asteroid city
This is a Wes Anderson movie and like all his films it is visually rich and aggressively quirky. If that’s your thing see this movie. If that gets on your nerves, don’t.
Cute but no plot
Terrible!! Husband wanted to walk out after 10 min.
Truly disappointed. Great cast with nothing to do.
Walked out after half hour.Could not understand what is about.Only second movie I ever walked out on.Wife was happy we left also.
This film was stunningly beautiful visually and very reminiscent of Dogville with the plot being a being a play and the town being a set. I thought the storyline had an especially deep undercurrent once you looked past the typical Wes Anderson subplots, which I felt all joined up in the end, albeit in a very conceptual manner. I think the truth of the message of this film came out when Jason Schwartzman went backstage to speak to the director, played by Adrien Brody, who still had not conceived an ending for his play. Schwartzman expressed concerns feeling lost with the direction of his character… To me it felt like how we all feel as humans at times, asking someone, or something (ie God, what have you) to tell us what the point is and where we should go or what we should do. Brody’s response was perfection and lent meaning to all the other subplots and characters in the story.
