I struggled a bit with this one. I like Wes Anderson and have seem pretty much everything he has made, but Asteroid City felt like it went too far on the style over substance. I think The Grand Budapest still had a nice balance to it given each character still had, well, character. Whereas in Asteroid City, everyone seemed quite flat.

unlike you I am just getting to know this director, I had heard about some of his films but it wasn't until a few days ago when I saw Grand Hotel Budapest (excellent film) that I started to dig a little more into Wes Anderson's fever, I am very interested in his first films although I have a hard time finding them in streaming
Yeah, not many streaming services have his works on them for long, especially his older stuff. The curse of streaming services, huh? :^)
I recommend The Darjeeling Limited and Rushmore, some of my favourites of his.
