This movie just got a bad wrap cause Madonna directed it.. If someone else directed it Im sure the critics would luv it I'll never understand when Madonna did act she get good reviews for supporting roles and bad reviews for th movies she got top billing for. I know sum of them were bad movies but just doesnt make sense to me. I neve thought Madonna was the greatest actress but lets face it there are actors out there that make 20 million a picture and cant act there way out of a paper bag!
@didilietoo None of what you wrote made any sense. First madonna is a victim because she can't direct, can't write and won't take acting lessons. Then what you perceive to be the failure of more popular actors is supposed to excuse her or make her bad acting ok? W.E. is one of the worst films I've ever seen-it was murky and lame.
@didilietoo I never said Madonna was a victim.. The movie just should of been in wide release.. Lots of horrible movies are in 2,000 theatres across the country and they either to well or bomb..If you didnt like the movie then fine.. However I have not seen it due to its limited release, and when I do see the movie. Hell, I may not like it...The movie just should of been given a chance... The movie is now in 20 theatres across America now! lol
One Day I will make a historical film regarded the subject of Edward VIII's life with actors who actually for once look like their characters. James D'Arcy is fabulous actor but he looks fuck all like Edward VIII as does Guy Pearce in The King's Speech. Colin Firth looks fuck all like George VI. What I will do first unlike what Madonna did, is consult with members of the Royal Family who knew Edward VIII properly and I will get every little detail of his life right to the very end.
Why does the audio for these Kermode reviews make me feel like I am further away from my computer than I actually am? Its messing with my whole world right now.
Consider this: Madonna spent almost USD$40 million (or $20 million British pounds) to make essentially a love letter to a bunch of royals and fashion victims with Nazi sympathies. Just when you thought her career couldn't get anymore offensive and pornographic, here it is.
Are there any words that elicit more revulsion when trying to pick a film to watch than "A Film By Madonna" ? I listened to her explanation of what the film was about at a press conference and I am now convinced that Madonna is stupid. She can barely string a sentence together and should stop inflicting her vanity project films on an already often depressing world. She seems to think an affected English accent and penchant for film-making will make her appear clever when the opposite is true
Madonna's low life troops are out flagging comments. Here is an idea: why don't you all have a collection to buy off her sagging rawhide ass off so she'll never go NEAR a film set again? She could get more bile to inject into her puffy adder face.

Maddonna can't direct. If this movie doesn't state the obvious, she's just gonna keep at it. She's just trying to be the same, if not better than her ex husband is at the directing. And He is in my opinion, not the best director around.
For a film critic he did totally fail to see the point of the movie. "In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with what she PERCEIVES as the ultimate love story". Watching the film you can't fail to notice that Wally Winthrop is obsessed with a fantasy to the point that she imagines talking to Wallis Simpson. The film is miss marketed and with a few flaws but it is by no means a bad movie
To those charging that Mark Kermode has an obvious dislike for Madonna and that's what is fuelling this review, he has gone on record a few times saying that she was brilliant in 'Evita' and that she was robbed of an Oscar nomination.
For heaven's sake, please mix the audio before you post your videos. I can hardly hear anything even after raising the volume on my computer as high as I can!
Madonna : was in Evita and W.E, can't help but think she has a tendancy to romancise people with discutable political views if they are able to show themselves as glamourous enough
Having seen the film I can say that yes he does have some valid points the script is bad and Abbie Cornish is a horrendous actress. But Madonna has said time and time again she did not set out to make a biopic. Her main theme of a story is how the duchess of windors life became an obsession and inspiration for a a women living in the present to search for a better life. This guy clearly has something against Madonna. Masterpiece having might I say deserved the globe win is more catchier than El
@Vela21 Sorry, he's critiquing the film very fairly. I guess if you have King George The Third's death being announced in 1936(sic) and Nazi affiliations written of as an empirical lies" then you really are thick. Be it personal interpretation or straight bio pic-open a book and at least get basic history straight. Ken Russell's wonderfully crazy musical Lisztomania stuck to more facts than this AND it had a 15 foot penis!
@MrPlayBeyond A COSTUME NOMINATION DOES NOT MEAN SHIT! Film did not even crack the UK top ten. show me the money and audience-NO ONE WANTS TO SEE HER FLOP!
If anyone thinks the Oscar nomination for costume design is some sort of vindication of the film's quality - remember that Norbit was nominated for best makeup. Doesn't mean it's not terrible.
@enuthal1 Download off the internet. The film is unwatchable and i don't mean the pirate copy. Explain how Madonna has "not been given a fair chance as a director"? why is she a victim when she makes these culturally illiterate career moves?
@TheArsenalgooner At least you gave it a chance and try to watch it, which is more than many will do. Still, what can I say... I really think the film has many merits.

Madonna this, Madonna that... Folks, this is not a real review, just a rant by someone who obviously dislikes Madonna. The film is actually quite good.
@rickstein123 The stats speak for themselves, but I disagree with the "consensus." Critics slam the historical inaccuracies, the parallel stories, and also, unfortunately, make superfluous comments about Madonna, the pop star. This film is about a depressed woman reconstructing in her mind the story of W.S. It isn't a typical biopic film. I think if people didn't know it was Madonna's film, and the subject were less controversial, more would give this film a chance and enjoy it.
@enuthal1 I can't comment to much on it because I haven't seen the film and I don't plan to. I have heard the song that won a Golden Globe and it was pretty awful and I'm too young to really know much about Madonna and I don't really care about her or have anything against her. From the way it sounds the film seems to portray that they weren't Nazi sympathizers which is factually wrong and quite a big inaccuracy.
@rickstein123 Someone looking for a historically accurate film has a point in criticizing aspects of it. But what I got from it, which is mentioned by a few critics, is that the film is meant to be a (biased) reimagination of w.s. and ed.'s romance, and in that sense, paradoxically, it is more nuanced than previous popular depictions of their relationship. PS: My point about Masterpiece is: Who cares if it is a good song? Why mention it at all? It is buried late in the credits...
If it were NOT Madonna's film it would be ignored but for a costume nod at the Oscars. The academy rewards any film with good costumes w/a nod. FAR better films are ignored because they don't have the Weinstein PR machine for endless, endless "premiers" like this. She should not make narcissistic hagiographies of rich Nazi sympathizers if she wants an audience beyond her fans. Her film would have been popular in Nazi Germany or the Vichy era but not today.
@MadameMao1 don't know if "personal" is the word. He does refer many times to Madonna's music.He mentions that everything in the script seems to be coming out of a "Madonna video". Does he explain why? Does he give any examples of how the writing is bad or inadequate? No, he just relates the writing to music videos. And he makes fun of Madonna's "Masterpiece" as if it were important to the film (even if a good song). He is just mocking Madonna, not providing us with a real critique.
@enuthal1 No he does not. Madonna is judged on her past work, even acting and singing, all directors who did other things before directing are. He gives dozens of examples of why the plot aka the writing is cack! When a script is bad-NOTHING can save a film. Leaving out their Nazi affiliations is like making a film on HUAC and leaving out McCarthy and Hoover! is supposed to be all "brave and challenging" and she just made a fashion spread/vanity project and that's why it has flopped.
@TheArsenalgooner Some of the lines are camp,but I like the story.So what did this reviewer say of the script besides the music-video comparison?He mentions all these things he doesn't like, but most of the negatives could be interpreted as positives if one looked beyond the surface and saw the oneiric qualities of the film. Nazi thing:Did Ed. do anything of true political consequence after the abdication?He just lived in that rarified environment that Madonna somehow portrays.
@tuckeryoudog which means nothing for madonna!! It will go to Arianne Phillips who has ripped off so many others including half a dozen of Shirley Russell's designs from Tommy. Weinstein will buy it for her but honestly she does not deserve to win. Arianne Phillips is an ugly rip off idea stealing whore like her boss.
"People have accused Wallis of all kinds of things. They've said that she put a spell on Edward. They've said that she was a hermaphrodite and that he was gay. They've said they were Nazi sympathisers. It's just the usual lynch-mob mentality that descends upon somebody who has something that lots of other people don't have."
—Madonna talking about the accusations on Wallis Simpson
"something that lots of other people don't have." ?? Just pitiful.
@trujillorodrigo Have you seen it? The security guard lives in a flat that looks it is too posh for Architectural digest-it is as big as airline hangar and decorated like the bloody Hermitage. The film just looks it was created solely for boring Gwen Paltrow GOOP people. Lydon gave permission because he loathes her and knew it would be scathingly awful. No one wants to see a POORLY written hagiography of Nazi sympathizers and wealthy people in the era!!
@MrTomasDUDA Drive - only one Oscar nomination. Still eats most other films this year for breakfast. I suspect W.E. may do rather better at the Razzies
@Suzz78 " Oh, and guess what, Madonna's W.E. is a thousand times better than royal borefest The King's Snooze, in which a man spends two hours overcoming a speech impediment while Helena Bonham Carter looks on. W.E. actually has proper roles for women in it – and, sorry haters, Madonna can direct." official expression of critic
@MrTomasDUDA Bidisha isn't a critic, she's just a rent-a-mouth who the Observer dragged into that panel for reasons unknown. Amusing how she thinks Nazi sympathisers are more sympathetic than people trying to overcome disabilities, though.
@mediasansnom Or maybe he actually loves cinema as a medium, and hates to see it shat upon from a great height by vanity projects. The funding for this could have made twenty interesting indie projects
@mediasansnom NO. Madonna should never be allowed near a camera again. In fact maybe one of her puffy adder cheekbone implants will explode and she'll vanish like a witch into the forest never to return..
interesting that this review made me realize how much i utterly detest period films that employ modern music in the soundtrack. remember that heath ledger movie where he's a knight in the middle ages?
wouldn't it be funny if a film made by madonna ended up being really deep and interesting, like "apocalypse now" or soemthign?
I don't like to judge films on their trailers, but upon seeing a preview of this film in the cinema I knew it would be utter tripe. Seeing the words, "A film by Madonna" only confirmed it. Thank you Doctor for providing far more entertainment in trashing it than Madonna clearly did in creating it.
I think it is clear that John Lydon (who allowed the song to be used) knew it was going to be so horrendously awful that he could not resist. And he was right!
Bloody hell this sounds like an utter pile of smelly stuff , i hate it when they make historical films and revise history to suit their crappy ideas ,nothing worst .

@sabalos Zero was a master. Love him as the Albatross in Watership Down and in a very rarer film with Harry Belafonte called The Angel Levine.

i wonder why he's pissed.... he must have a problem with the director not the movie.

@mediasansnom Or maybe he actually loves cinema as a medium, and hates to see it shat upon from a great height by vanity projects. The funding for this could have made twenty interesting indie projects

@Suzz78 i think if one takes two years of his life to write a movie, he has the right to release it. don't you?

@mediasansnom NO. Madonna should never be allowed near a camera again. In fact maybe one of her puffy adder cheekbone implants will explode and she'll vanish like a witch into the forest never to return..

interesting that this review made me realize how much i utterly detest period films that employ modern music in the soundtrack. remember that heath ledger movie where he's a knight in the middle ages?
wouldn't it be funny if a film made by madonna ended up being really deep and interesting, like "apocalypse now" or soemthign?

I don't like to judge films on their trailers, but upon seeing a preview of this film in the cinema I knew it would be utter tripe. Seeing the words, "A film by Madonna" only confirmed it. Thank you Doctor for providing far more entertainment in trashing it than Madonna clearly did in creating it.

I suppose Madonna rather watched some crap like "Moulin Rouge" rather than Copolla's movie.... anyways - nice rant!

I think it is clear that John Lydon (who allowed the song to be used) knew it was going to be so horrendously awful that he could not resist. And he was right!

If Ken Russell had been given 16 million quid to make this film, you'd have been given the truth not some white wash of raving anti-Semites.

Just the phrase 'A Film By Madonna' should have any normal viewer scurrying for the hills. Too bad I'm a movie masochist. :P
