After the glowing review from The Daily Mail ,the review's that follows are simply scathing and downright demolition job on the W.E. film.
I had high hopes for the film maybe not Oscar worthy but at least viewable and worth watching but with the critics damning it even before its theatrical release I'm kinda saddened by the turn of events. Especially after the screening of the film for critics in Venice.
But I'm not losing hope as it was mentioned when it was screened for the Festivals audience it actually got a standing ovation. Which I think is very important if the normal moviegoers liked it as opposed to critics liking it.
I have already accepted the fact that since this is a Madonna project this will take a lot of beating from critics.
Borrowing from a line from Awards Daily would sum up in a nutshell the Reviews for W.E.
"As for the fate of Madonna’s W.E. – you’re probably looking at a costume nod perhaps. The thing about Madonna is that they’re never going to cut her any slack. She will always be laughed at when she tries to do anything but dance around in her underwear. It’s just the good and the bad of what and who she is. She’s made her bed and not only has to lie in it — she can expect to be handcuffed spreadeagled to the headboard."
Anyways I sure am gonna watch this come December and hopefully enjoy it as what movies ought to do.
