Richard Lawson has not been enamored of Wes Anderson’s work for a few years now: “Anderson’s high style has grown alienating over the last decade or so; he’s made some exhausting films, fussy and overly formal objets d’art that don’t seem to be saying much of anything.” But Asteroid City, which just premiered at Cannes, is different. “It’s as if Anderson is turning his mind back on, switch by switch, after the cataclysms of the past few years,” writes Lawson. “Suddenly his old pretensions feel welcome again; here, born anew, is the purpose of his particular (and occasionally vexing) style.”
