Held Over!

Asteroid City

The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention (organized to bring together students and parents from across the country for fellowship and scholarly competition) is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.

Directed by Wes Anderson.
Starring Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Steve Carell, Maya Hawke,

Willem Dafoe, Jeffrey Wright, and Jason Schwartzman.

"Wes Anderson is a film artist like no other. In defiance of realism, he builds dazzling, minimalist, all-star jewel boxes—easy to spoof but impossible to equal. This Atomic-age fable about teen space nerds and their parents tinges fun with true feeling." - ABC News

"It soars, stalls and sometimes alienates. It also lands on a conclusion as moving as it is undeniable: We are not alone." - Los Angeles Times

"A reminder that Anderson remains one of cinema’s best." - The Atlantic

Asteroid City is a New York Times' Critic's Pick!

"It’s a movie that understands how yearning lives in your body even when you think you’ve set it aside." - Financial Times

a

"...liberates your tears and makes you fall in love with it. It is almost assuredly predestined to be the single best movie you see this year." -
