Asteroid Shitty

Went to see "Asteroid City" Saturday night. I feel comfortable saying it is probably the most annoying movie I have seen in this decade. An overwrought, eye-searing mess. However, everyone around us in the theater seemed to just love it, and the reviews are respectable (76% on Rotten Tomatoes.) I ALMOST feel like I should go see it again just to see if I was just grumpy or missed something. To be fair, Scarlett Johansson and the girl playing her daughter are incredibly effective, but that's all the praise I have.

Did I miss something, or am I right in loathing it?

I loved it OP. Maybe simmer a bit.

I get not liking a movie but how can you call it a “mess” when it’s so obviously finely wrought and made with supreme control?

R4 it’s a mess because it lacks rhythm, pace, and clarity.

But I wrote about that on the other thread.

Love the thread title, OP. And I agree with your assessment.
