Maps
to the Stars
(2014)
Johnny's
comments:
Maps To The Stars is a
drama set in Hollywood
where struggling actress
Havana (Julianne Moore) is
desperate to get the role
in a remake of a movie
that originally starred
her now dead mother. Which
could be the worst thing
for her as she is
currently working out her
'mummy' issues with famous
unconventional therapist
Stafford Weiss (John
Cusack) and she has
started seeing visions of
her mother (Sarah Gadon)
that are taunting her.
Stafford Weiss's son,
Benjie (Evan Bird) is a
teenage Hollywood star who
is rather obnoxious and is
already recovering from a
drug problem when he takes
umbrage at his much
younger co-star stealing
scenes from him.
Meanwhile, Agatha (Mia
Wasikowska), is a woman
who was disfigured in a
fire and has come to Los
Angeles at the behest of
Carrie Fisher (yes, this
actually happens), who
recommends her to Havana
as a personal assistant.
But, Agatha's past will
end up haunting all and
her arrival will have a
devastating effect on
their lives.
From director David
Cronenberg, and if you've
ever watched one of his
movies, you sort of know
what to expect, a dark
journey with horrible
consequences. And Maps To
The Stars is no exception,
with many horrible
characters, particularly
Havana whose comeuppance
couldn't come quick enough
to be honest, but having
said that, Julianne Moore
plays her so well and is a
standout in the movie.
Most of the stuff on
display here is depressing
to watch and the third act
is horrible to watch
unfold. And I didn't mind
that is was horrible to
watch because it was
pretty engrossing to
watch, but how do you
recommend a movie where
no-one comes out unscathed
or with nothing nice to
say about anything that
happens?
