W.E.

The movie is cool ! I love the piano music so much does anyone know what's the name of the piano song that the guy plays with it? thank you...

Madonna's meager talents are best exposed in front of the camera. W.E. stank to high heaven. Embarrasing for her and a real pain for anyone who knows and loves film. Rich, bored, self-centered women of Mad's ilk should be directed to some useful purpose. At her age it's time she remove herself to one of her several mansions and leave the directing/spotlight to those with actual talent.

The comment you type I have just watched the film and Absolutely loved it. Do not judge this film on the "critics" review it is a well directed movie, I loved the music, how she puts old style piano music over the present day scenes and new music over the 1930's scenes, Very clever. well done Madonna I look forward to your next film.in this box will appear on the site

This film is beautiful and the parallel story works very well. I decided not to read any reviews as I knew Madonna would be analysed in a very critical way but also felt that she was clever enough not to film something that she did not feel passion for. It’s artistic with a touch of contemporary style. Visually pleasing too. Don’t read the opinions of Film Journalists on this one, judge it for yourself. Blockbuster film lovers may not appreciate as much as the Arty film lovers. Enjoy!

Madge has got her PR firm busy

This film is beautifully directed. The parallel story lines are woven very well together and easy to follow. The cinematography is simply amazing. Madonna has a very keen eye for this. When watching this film you can see it was done with passion. She did not direct it just to direct a movie. Excellent movie!

Ive seen the film twice. I can tell you that the negativity around this film is just because Madonna directed it. I mean the Academy just gave HUGO 11 Nominations, you can't tell me HUGO is better that W.E! but of course, the boys club in Hollywood always champions its on - I mean... W.E might not be perfect but it's definately better than 70% of the movies out there right now. We get it - you are all just scared of Madonna because she has done more with her life than any "critic" out there!

Well, I've now seen the film and I can tell you that I enjoyed it! Not the best film i've ever seen but certainly not the worst. Andrea Riseborough was fantastic in this, though I wasn't so keen on Abbie Cornish, The security guard is hot, but my friend and I were wondering how he could afford that loft apartment in NYC, with the piano and all, Felt like Madonna was a bit out of touch with how non-superstars live! Also the slapping "wake up" scene was unitentionally funny, as was the dancing scene in the bedroom at the end. Not sure about the sex pistols scene either, didn't really work for me. The film held my interest and I didn't look at my watch once during it, which is always a good sign. I definitely think that if this film had come out by an anonymous director that it would not have been given such a hard time. It's only Madonna's first full length film, Give her a chance. Would give 3.5 stars if possible.

I went along to see this film as I thought the critics were probably giving Madonna a hard time. I was wrong. It may look good and to be fair, Andrea Riseborough does a terrific portrayal as Wallis and it looks very pretty, but OMG - the dialogue - laugh out loud funny! When the Security Guard appears in a bearskin and a kilt - and this on the day of the Scottish Referendum - the dialogue was drowned out by the sound of the audience guffawing... And the music - talk about over the top! Line like 'You can walk me home if you put your pants on'... Worth seeing but for all the wrong reasons.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this film. That's not to say it's a unique taken on W&E, or even that the parallel lives/fantasy friend theme hasn't been done before. But the story's strong, and the casting of Andrea Riseborough as Wallis Simpson was a superb choice. . Madge has an excellent eye for detail - this is one of the most visually arresting films I've seen in a long time. The choice of homes/locations, the aerial photography, and the sets were great. Wardrobe, jewellery and other detail was all very, very carefully chosen, and this film's a must for anyone who likes the styling of the 30's/40's period.   . Riseborough is both an excellent actress and clotheshorse - she was knockout in everything, but particularly the geometric pattern suit. Wow. What surprised me most is that Madge co-wrote the script - it's not bad, though the late 90's marriage wasn't totally convincing.  But she clearly did her homework very thoroughly.  She certainly knows all the right people to get the best locations, props, etc. I surprised myself by going to see it for a second time tonight. For a first film, this is very good, and I hope Madge comes up with more.  Keep this up and I can see Oscars a few years down the line.  Well attended for both Mon and Tue eve, and no mid-film walkers. Three stars or 7/10.
