"Dark and twisted yet strangely compelling"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A very unflattering portrait of the underbelly of celebrity in Hollywood. Takes awhile to get into the main storyline but once it does this twisted tale is unforgettable. We see here very talented actors playing very unlikeable yet tragic characters caught up in the relentless pursuit of fame and success at the expense of everything else. The most sympathetic character turns out to be the most damaged and ultimately the most damaging of them all. An unsettling but worthwhile watch.

Description

Maps to the Stars is a 2014 Canadian-American satirical drama film directed by David Cronenberg, and starring Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, Olivia Williams, Sarah Gadon, and Evan Bird.

With this tale of a secret-filled Hollywood family on the verge of implosion, director David Cronenberg (EASTERN PROMISES, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE) forges both a wicked social satire and a very human ghost story from our celebrity-obsessed culture. Meet the Weiss family, who are making their way in a sun-soaked Southern California rife with money, dreams, fame, envy, angst, yearning – and relentless hauntings. Stafford Weiss (John Cusack) is a famed TV self-help therapist, whose “Hour of Personal Power” has brought him an A-list celebrity clientele. Meanwhile, Cristina Weiss (Olivia Williams) has her work cut out managing the career of their disaffected child-star son, Benjie (Evan Bird), a fresh graduate of rehab at age 13.
