Wes Anderson's "Asteroid City" is, on its surface, about a strange, desert town that makes brief and bizarre contact with an alien. But dig a little deeper, and it's about things like grief, performance, the purpose of stories and science, and why we all long for human connection — even amid confusing, earth-shaking quarantines. It's gorgeous to look at and quite funny, with strong performances from Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks and the rest of the movie's sprawling ensemble cast.
