“Asteroid City is an absolute delight, Anderson’s best since The Grand Budapest Hotel.”  (Luke Hicks, The Film Stage)

“The overall effect is one of wonderment, eccentricity and heartache that will connect deeply with anyone who recently spent an extended period stuck in close proximity with other human beings.”  (Phil de Semlyen, Time Out)

“Asteroid City is Anderson’s most complete, rich and surprising film to date, and perhaps his most autobiographical in some obscure, allegorical way, in that it stands as testament to how filmmaking is about bringing artists together and attuning them to a specific wavelength.  On a more superficial level, it’s a film which pushes his patented funny/sad dichotomy to its wildest and most enjoyable extremes.”  (David Jenkins, Little White Lies)
