Thoughts on seeing Asteroid City (self.entertainment)

I finally got the opportunity to watch Asteroid City. I am a long-time fan of Wes Anderson, but none of the people around me share my joy in his movies so I have to gush about it online.

Something about this film hit me really hard while watching, something in the way that the film uses multiple layers of storytelling about telling a story and how that highlights the real emotions being shown. I'm definitely going to have to find the time to watch it again.

Those who have seen it, what are your thoughts on the movie? Aside from whether you enjoyed it, did you get anything deeper out of it beyond the offbeat comedy?

For me it wasn't so much the dialog as the overall emotional content and context within a few of the theater scenes. I honestly can't remember much of the dialog that stood out to me, but I mostly enjoy Anderson's movies for the vibe I get from them.
