Review of Clouds of Sils Maria (2014) by Michael L — 12 Apr 2015
A movie trapped in the past about not being trapped in the past, CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA is one more mixed bag of pretension from Olivier Assayas. The ideas are there, the depth, the themes but the execution once again fails.
Kristen Stewart, however, is a revelation! She gets it, breaking through the pretense to explore the depths only imagined by the rest of this film. Her shifts from "reality" to "acting" are quite frankly, awesome and amazing.
And exactly what CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA is all about.
