Review of Maps to the Stars (2014) by Brent_Marchant — 28 Feb 2015
Despite terrific performances by Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska and Evan Bird, as well as some bitingly funny lines, this satirical Hollywood cautionary tale never quite hits its stride, with too many underdeveloped tangents that detract from the main story line.
The film never quite lives up to its potential, despite the introduction of what initially appear to be some novel narrative elements. Its strengths, regrettably, become lost amidst a plethora of half-baked plot devices, keeping the picture from reaching what it might have become.
