"Asteroid City" is a Wes Anderson movie about everything that offers no insights into anything.
Fifty years ago the film would have been called self-reflexive. Today it is called meta-something. That means it talks about itself. So people began leaving at halftime.
Scarlett Johansson and Jason Schwartzman are pretty good, but they aren't on screen enough to hide the dim mess at the heart of the endeavor.
A movie about everything is a movie about nothing.
