I am a SW hardcore fan. I'm 44, so I'm from the first generation batch that watched the old trilogy on and on and on. I was rooting for the series, I swear, but my oh my, what a disappointment. Episode 3 was trashy enough but I tried the fourth ep only to loose the last inch of faith on the series.
Bad produtiction, bad script, bad cinematography that gives a very cheap look... I mean, there's nothing wrong about cheap fx but prodution were given 22 million per epsode, dude, what the hack they did to that amoun? At least, dude, the script, do something about it! I got the idea of the series, about good and bad, the duality of the Force in each young girl, that's actually more of the same it has been thrown throughout the years at the fanbase, but the way Disney put it nowadays is a complete mess. I'm very disappointed about the path Star Wars is going, every new production is getting worse and worse, except for Andor, Mandalorian and Rogue One.
I won't watch The Acolyte anymore.

As a Brazilian, I really enjoy movies that are not the usual material you normally see coming from South American productions (mostly dramas and real-life stories). Horror is a genre not often seen around here, and when it shows up, it is often a low-budget production with poor writing.
But I always give a chance, and director Demian Rugna already had my favor due to his "Aterrados", where there were really bone-chilling moments, though I also felt a lack of a solid script. Anyway, Aterrados was enough to give him credit and watch his next horror production.
The movie starts very, very solid, with great special effects, make-up, and an eerie countryside atmosphere. Saddly, it rapdly fell flat, and writing goes "horribly" sideways. Dumb decisions, things unexpectedly happening, no character building, among other details.
I wish I could have a more positive review. As a horror fan and also as a fellow South American, I'm a serious genre fan, and I try to be impartial in my reviews.
Watch on your own choice; it's not that bad, but I have to say that I was really anxious for the movie to end.

I'm such a huge fan of Wes Anderson work. But the latest two movies though filled with his style were rather bland.
I didn't really got any hint of what this movie is about. Maybe I'm not smart enough to understand... or like another review I read and copied its title... it's more about style than substance. Like I said, I love Wes Anderson style, but you can't rely merely on style to make a movie. And we all know that Anderson can come up with great stories, characters and unforgetable lines.
There's no interest in seeing characters saying or doing quirk things the whole movie with no character development, with no solid script, only for the fun of it. There's no character attachement this way. You see, after so many years, I still enjoy rewatching Fantastic Mr. Fox and so many others of his movies. Actually, his first two movies, Bottlerocket and Rushmore are the opposite of Asteroid City... they both have an interesting plot with memorable characters and lines yet Wes was still carving his style, they were substance over style. And that's the point.
The "stageplay inside a real life world" concept is somewhat interesting, but other than that and the pastel tones we all love, you won't find much more.
