Review of Maps to the Stars (2014) by Simon T — 11 Jun 2016
Forensic evisceration of the empty lives of several lost souls grubbing around in Hollywood. Cronenberg only reveals the layers slowly and avoids satirising these screwed up narcissists. He's aided by some wonderful and subtle performances, a strange and unsettling screenplay by Bruce Wagner, and a subtle and ominous score from Howard Shore.
If Short Cuts had been given to Cronenberg it'd have been like this.
