Jason Schwartzman and Scarlett Johansson lead the starry cast in this beautiful but rather empty endeavor.
The itinerary of a Junior Stargazer convention is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.
These characters are played by actors—old and new to Anderson—like Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, Tom Hanks, Hope Davis, Steve Carrell, Liev Schriber, Jeffrey Wright, Rupert Friend and Maya Hawke. But that’s not all. You see this story is actually a play and all these people are characters in the play. It doesn’t stop there. Edward Norton is the playwright, a mid-last century American genius, perhaps a Tennessee Williams or an Arthur Miller type.
One breathtaking diversion features Schwartzman as Jones Hall, the actor playing Stenbeck, delivering a stunning audition to Norton’s playwright that ends up with the two men making a deeper connection both personally and professionally. Both actors are marvelous reacting to each other and the audience is swept away in the moment. Schwartzman, in particular, elevates this and many other scenes, absolutely making the most of playing the lead character.
Anderson builds gorgeous worlds. They are filled with such detail that there’s always something to marvel at. Yet narrativelydoesn’t fully come together. It remains a beautiful artifact but, despite a few moments of resonant storytelling, is too easily forgettable.
