![]() Fox… but then again, Asteroid City comes baked-in with a big vote of Hollywood confidence. That’s high praise for the creative mind behind The Royal Tenenbaums, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Fantastic Mr. Critics mostly love Asteroid City for layering complex themes across a sprawling cast - anchored by Scarlett Johansson and Jason Schwartzman - while tapping the movie’s space-race setting for a surprisingly emotional story that some reviewers say even exceeds all of Anderson’s previous work.

Setting aside that big six-minute ovation, plenty of pro reviewers were on hand to catch the world premiere of Anderson’s first true foray into sci-fi territory, and we’ve rounded up a sampling of their Cannes reactions. Just like the characters in the main movie itself, the black-and-white TV show’s stars are stuck looking skyward as aliens move in from above… and they may even have a larger role to play in the movie’s vivid, living-color world. As usual, Anderson’s story setup nests layers of meta-meaning deep within itself, couching the wild events that unfold during a weekend stargazing excursion inside the interpretive confines of a play-within-a-play - or, in this case, a winking in-movie TV series hosted by Anderson first-time collaborator, Bryan Cranston, and longtime troupe member, Edward Norton.
