Hollywood is Terrifying in David Cronenberg’s “Maps to the Stars”

You can also read this review (and other writings) at my column for 'The Whit' here

David Cronenberg isn’t a director known for complying with any sort of “norms” when it comes to making films; as a filmmaker, he has been referred to as, “the most audacious and challenging narrative director in the English-speaking world.” So it comes as no surprise then, that the director’s latest is a (very) black comedy-satire about the poisonous Hollywood lifestyle. The only surprise about the project, is that it’s come so late in Cronenberg’s career.
