Maps to the Stars (2014)
Country: CAN/GER/FR/US
Technical: col 111m
Director: David Cronenberg
Cast: Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Olivia Williams, Robert Pattinson, Evan Bird
Synopsis:
A girl arrives in Hollywood with a yen to visit the homes of the rich and famous, or is it just one home in particular? Thanks to her contacts, she inveigles her way into the employ of a neurotic film star, who is angling to play her own mother in an upcoming biopic.
Review:
Hard-to-like study of the damaged and the self-obsessed in tinseltown. Unfortunately, the paradigms have all been done before, from obnoxious child star to psychotic charlatan, and the film has nowhere to go except up its own orifice. Which should suit Cronenberg's metaphoric oeuvre down to the ground.
