Review of W.E. (2011) by Matthew S — 29 Jun 2015
Pleasantly surprised by this - its certainly no masterpiece but nor is it anywhere near as bad as the reviews would suggest...the film looks gorgeous and Andrea Riseborough is excellent as Wallis Simpson - however the script is sometimes clunky and pretentious and Madonna falls into the novice director's trap of trying to hard to make each shot clever.
..applying the 'less is more' mantra would have yielded better results. Still, not a bad effort and certainly not a disaster - watch with an open mind and you may just enjoy it.
