8 / 10
Translated from swedish: This is primarily about a cast of characters, where it might have been possible to remove some darlings, even though all the actors settle down gracefully on the dry 1950s prairie.

8 / 10
Translated from swedish: The always beautiful image, in turn accompanies the rhythmic lines very well, which should preferably sound from proper speakers. And although I can sometimes appreciate the laconic nature of films, this script, with a host of long monologues, is a complete delight.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: There are certainly common Anderson themes here about grief, loss, and perhaps above all about the human's doomed desire to control existence. Just when you think you have a handle on life, a green guy from Mars comes and forces you to recalculate the whole shebang.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: "Asteroid City" had its world premiere in Cannes and had a highly polarizing effect on the critics. Not everyone saw an overly blunt misstep in the protocol, some depicted a masterpiece.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: In summary, "Asteroid City" is insanely good when it stays right in the town of Asteroid City, but due to the unnecessary narration, the whole falls flat. And the lack of any extra material is also a sad minus.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: I usually enjoy Wes Anderson's films, but this one didn't impress me much. It had the usual aesthetic style, but it lacked the emotional depth that I loved in his previous films.

4 / 10
Translated from swedish: The longer the film goes on, the more one begins to wonder where it will lead and ultimately whether it will lead anywhere. It is debatable whether it ever will...

4 / 10
Translated from swedish: Wes Anderson has become a parody of himself and unfortunately not a particularly entertaining one.
- Eric DiedrichsSwedish: filmtopp.se »

3.3 / 10
Translated from swedish: Is it time to give up hope on Wes Anderson? And when was it exactly that he lost his grip?

Translated from swedish: I myself am not American and have no greater interest in the American West, its desert landscapes or culture. Yet the theme is so relevant that I would be happy to watch it again.

Translated from swedish: There are some directors whose names include a promise. A new Wes Anderson is delivered with a kind of guarantee. This will be a color and form adventure, no matter what.
