... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreGood acting, beautiful images, interesting story, flawless wardrobe. Shame the script doesn't always succeed in telling two stories at the same time. Truth is if this movie hadn't been directed by Madonna it would've been way better rated.
... View MoreThis movie obviously had a tremendous budget and no expense was spared in their sets and quality of costumes and locations which are superb and the real 'star' of this movie. It appears that the director really took great pains to ensure authenticity with regard to Wallis Simpson's wardrobe as well as the Royal's wardrobe and their lifestyle. I was quite mesmerized with the laissez faire life that Wallis and what was to be the future King had created and this movie if to be believed portrays it very well. The parallel story in this movie whilst interesting really does not add anything to the already complex and intriguing life of Wallis and Edward; therefore, had the director focused more on W.E., this movie may have been more successful.You can sort of discern in this movie that the Director is 'thinking' out loud to themselves in the way some of the scenes are shot. The director has her actors over emphasize actions in order to convey an emotion that the director thinks is subliminal to the audience when in fact it is just too obvious that the director is a bit immature in their direction. Had this director allowed emotions to develop sincerely without the obvious conjecture of 'set-ups', then again this movie would have been dually successful.
... View MoreThe romance of King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy) and Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough) has been retold many times before, most notably (for me at least) in the TV series EDWARD AND MRS. SIMPSON with Edward Fox in the title role. Madonna's version of the tale juxtaposes the story with a present-day tale involving Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), her violent husband William (Richard Voyle) and a Russian intellectual employed at Sotheby's in New York, Evgeni (Oscar Isaac). The parallels are obvious enough: Wally identifies with Mrs. Simpson and contrasts her own mundane existence with that of the royal lover. Eventually she comes to realize that she has the kind of life-choices denied to Mrs. Simpson. Shot in rock-video style, with fast cuts preventing any real identification with the characters, W.E. actually seems like an attempt by director Madonna to make sense of her own life as a singer/actress/celebrity. The settings are well drawn; the performances competent (even though D'Arcy looks nothing like the real Duke of Windsor). However the narrative tends to drag a little as it moves towards its predictable end. The film has certain incidental pleasures, notably the appearance of Turkish actor/star Haluk Bilginer as Mohammed Al Fayed.
... View Moreya it sucks....... don't watch it.. I could talk about it. but I won't. it's late. and this movie was bad. Madonna is just annoying anyway. Like where did that accent come from? shes from Detroit. Do you hear her now? like all of a sudden shes English? what the hell is that about? ridiculous if you ask me. Like i know the category it was nominated for was pointless. but just the fact Modonna can claim she directed an Oscar nominated film is annoying. This story isn't even interesting. Do I have enough lines yet? i'm not sure. I gotta be close. I mean 1 on 10 is probably a little harsh.. I've seen worse movies. But still. just don't watch it. */10
