Map To The Stars (2014)

Cronenberg's movies, blahh.. Not a big fan of him and his movie. So why did I watch the movie? Because Julianne Moore got the Best Actress award at Cannes Film Festival this year.

This movie is about how fuck up Hollywood are. yeah, the place I really want to work in is fuck up. I know it. With no short of brilliance, the entire cast ignites some of their finest and most compelling works of their careers. It starts obviously with another powerhouse turn by four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore. As "Havana Segrand," an actress dying for a big comeback, Moore illustrates her most vibrant and fruitful interpretation since "Cathy Whitaker" in Far from Heaven. Ferocious, daring, and completely involved, there's no other actress like Julianne Moore on this cinematic planet. Too good for words.

John Cusack and Olivia Williams are a match made in cinema hell, which secretly means heaven. Two people who are despicable together, the pair play insanely well off each other, showcasing luscious movements that all ring true. The young Evan Bird will have all of us learning his name by end credits. Mia is amazing and her creepiness match this movie. I love her.

This movie is not interesting for me. But it;s what makes me want to watch it. i really hate all of the characters in this movie. It's like the overdo it. Dysfunctional people, dysfunctional families, dysfunctional town. what else? 

Te film is intriguing - like watching a train wreck is intriguing - and it holds up for most of its narrative, offering surprises and payoffs on the mysteries it sets up along the way. All the rest of it is tight, curiously. The music is gorgeous, and punctuates the film beautifully. The picture, though it is often sexual and at times violent, shows mature restraint.

Overal the cats are great. the played the characters amazingly, all of them. They can make you hate them, and it;s the plus point. but the plot is not good at all, bad bad plot.

My rating : 6.5/10
IMDB : 6.6/10
Metacritics : 71/100
Rotten Tomatoes : 67%
