Narratively unwieldy and tonally jumbled, Maps to the Stars still has enough bite to satisfy David Cronenberg fans in need of a coolly acidic fix.

This isn't a lousy film; it's a mediocre, ugly film about lousy people. Mar 5, 2015 | Rating: 2.0

Hollywood has been disemboweling itself since... Sunset Boulevard and The Bad and the Beautiful, but those movies seem like Cream of Wheat compared to Cronenberg's wicked vision. Mar 5, 2015 | Full Review…

"Maps to the Stars" loses some steam near the end, and its resolution has the predetermined quality of Greek tragedy writ small. Still, I found it (as the Replacements song says) sadly beautiful. Mar 5, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Although it's been dismissed in some quarters as minor Cronenberg-and criticized for "getting Hollywood wrong," or something-it's a sneakily powerful movie. Feb 27, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

There are scads of scabrous inside-Hollywood psychodramas, but never a festering pyre on the order of David Cronenberg and Bruce Wagner's Maps to the Stars. What a hyperfocused duo of ghouls! Feb 27, 2015 | Full Review…

Maps revels in Hollywood's many grotesqueries yet crucially lacks the cool wit and intelligence that comes hand-in-hand with a Cronenberg on his A-game. Overbearingly catty, there's little actual meat underneath all the ghoulish cosmetics. Apr 3, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The script has just enough humor to elicit cringes, eyebrow raises and laughter in proper proportion, and while the events are plenty shocking, you might also be surprised at how much you enjoy watching them unfold. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…

It's a pretty tall order to pull off this mixture of lowbrow hijinks and astute ribbing, but Cronenberg and his game cast do so with tongue placed firmly in cheek and without diluting their stinging Tinseltown deconstruction one iota. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…
