Very briefly... we love Wes Anderson films, they are quirky and funny and close enough to reality that you can visualize them being true. The start of this film is far too absurd and plastic and slow to match any of his prior films, while there may be pleasant moments, the absurdity of start that allows you to not believe any of the actual story is what makes this hard to watch. I've always liked his directing because I said to myself, these people are so outrageously absurd... But I imagine this could happen in certain families or groups. This is believable... Unfortunately, asteroid city unplugged the video game and we lose all of that with pure absurdity.
