Madonna's W.E. is a beautifully crafted, passionate tale about the search for true love in the modern world, viewed through the prism of one of history's most fabled romances. The year is 1998, and Manhattan is abuzz with anticipation about the upcoming auction of the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. But the auction is far more than a diversion for Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), a transplanted Southerner trapped in an unhappy and abusive marriage. Transfixed by the exquisite artifacts of the Windsors' lives, Wally becomes obsessed with the love story of Wallis Simspon (Andrea Riseborough), the chic, charismatic American who captured the heart of King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy). As she learns more about the sacrifices Wallis made in choosing to be with Edward, Wally finds the courage to follow her own heart and create her own happiness.
Didn't you find that interaction of the two girls astonishing, pinpointing how different they are in their aproach to life? Doesn't this film give you the idea "c'mon, do live ur life, isn't that all that u got"?

The way Madonna narrates the story, weaving the past and the present is fascinating. Her film may require you to THINK, which is, of course, sort of a dying breed nowadays as we got used to mega-superficial blockbusters. And to all the folks booing W.E. -- instead of pointing out what she "might have done better about the script or else", it is worth noting how beautifully she twists them both the girls between the two epoches, - and it's not an easy thing to do.

The film and the way it was shot is amazing. It's bad that the box office heavily depends on the critics who perhaps never had a challenge to shoot a single movie in their lifetime. It's very good of those having their own standpoint, who do not rely on what others say.
