I really enjoyed Grand Budapest Hotel.
Asteroid City, on the other hand, looks like something thrown together by somebody who believes they can do no wrong. The critics will love it because it's me, right? Quirky is one thing but this movie is unbearable, twee, self indulgent, and annoying. If there were any subversive themes to it, or any reason to believe anything was supposed to represent any idea other than "look at me, I am eccentric ", it would have been fun to watch. As it is, it was just a case of watching a bunch of big stars play parts in an extended in-joke that leads precisely nowhere.
