“An exhilarating triumph of pure style” The Guardian

Wes Anderson – one of modern cinema’s most instantly recognisable visual stylists even before becoming a TikTok trend unto himself – strikes again with this desert-set caper. On their way to the junior stargazers convention, the family station wagon breaks down and the young astronomers face an even more serious threat from outer space.

As with his recent output – The Grand Budapest Hotel, The French Dispatch – Anderson manages to wrangle an absurdly starry cast with a lightly comic tone, visual invention in spades and a madcap approach to narrative. Everyone from Tom Hanks to Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson to Willem Dafoe, Steve Carell to Margot Robbie turn up at this crossroads in the sand, ready for the incredible visual vim and deadpan humour.
