And here come the reviews. “Robert Pattinson shows he’s more than a pretty face” – preaching to the converted there 🙂  Cannot wait for this film.
Translation:
Forget the gloomy or easy-peasy Cosmopolis and A Dangerous Method, Cronenberg is back to his domain of preference: rough, trashy with crazy characters and a hypnotizing atmosphere. Maps To The Stars is like a reborn for his filmography. Is it because for the first time he endorses the pamphlet’s codes in this dark and incandscent representation of Hollywood where the false pretences are set as a moral code.
A family of nutcases, a star’s comeback, a young roquet, a pyromaniac schizo-poet or a young limousine drive with a predatory smile who fucks in the backseat: Cronenberg feasts on these crazy characters and this culture of appearances in a very passionate movie. Maps To The Stars is raw and hypnotic, between reality and fantasy, dreams and nightmares. Until an icy and violent ending pursued with surprising events.
Mia reveals her “poisonous flower” side, Robert Pattinson shows he’s more than a pretty face and Julianne’s through the roof with what will become THE performance of a career which is already brilliant. Just like Cronenberg who renews with this twisted , distinguished and intelligent cinema.
Oh wow I can’t wait to see Julianne’s performance. She has and will always be one of my ultimate fave actresses. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, she should have won the Oscar for The Hours not Nicole but that’s my personal opinion.
As far as an ensemble cast goes, it’s one of those rare occasions where I really love ALL of them ~ I just know I’m going to love Maps.
At least some of these people that are singing Rob’s praises can add some of that sugar to their previous words that they now have to eat
Ahhhh so looking forward to seeing this ðŸ‘
Oh, god, not long now before we can see for ourselves…
It’s about time for “some people” to acknowledge what so many others already knew. 🙂 The next few years are going to find me drooling in my box of popcorn! It’s gonna be a great ride!!
Crossing our fingers for an Aussie release date soon Trish *looks to the gods*
