Asteroid city was a snooze fest. And this is coming from someone who LOVES Wes Anderson movies.
Rushmore , bottle rocket , the Darjeeling limited are my top 3 .wbu ?
Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Royal Tennenbaums, then it’s all downhill from there.
There’s bits I love in all of them and usually there’s some bit of wonderfully rendered humanity that makes them stick the landing - but I spend large portions of most of them hating the contrived twee-ness and imagining how pleased Anderson is with himself.
The stop motion ones are fine.
It’s just that because the first two have his unique vision and humor but also have some semblance of reality, I find them more engaging.
