David Cronenberg returns to the director’s chair with this gritty look into the Hollywood lifestyle and the ugly side of fame. With it’s intertwining tales and fantastic screenplay by Bruce Wagner Maps to the Stars was utterly fantastic. Julianne Moore steals the show in a role that should have not only have received nominations but awards too yet somehow went overlooked. The tone of the film is similar to Cronenberg’s newer films, such as Cosmopolis, however this is definitely his best piece from recent years, a truly shocking yet outstanding film that was undoubtedly one of last year’s greatest.
