Review: David Cronenberg’s ‘Maps to the Stars’ Starring Julianne Moore, Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska
The film isn’t for everyone, I’ll say that. But Cronenberg captures the desperation of Hollywood perfectly and for that, it deserves a look.
The film isn’t for everyone, I’ll say that. But Cronenberg captures the desperation of Hollywood perfectly and for that, it deserves a look.
The story is set in 1860’s Ireland, where a poverty-stricken woman disguises herself as a man to gain employment as a waiter in a Dublin hotel. Once she settles into her new role, she becomes increasingly confused about her identity, begins to court a maid and eventually shares her secret with a hotel guest.
“There’s something in her that makes her think she’s worthy of happiness, and that’s really an important thing for young women to remember, especially when they’re falling in love.”
