...the pace, feel and sleek look are unmistakably Cronenberg’s scientific method. Yet he mixes it up with lively Lynchian weirdness and discernable jokes.

At the centre of it all is Moore, magnificently horrendous...wallowing in the amniotic fluid of her own narcissistic self-loathing – a sick, siren-like performance of parasitic perfection.

Hollywood enligt Cronenberg: fyllt av själviska bitchar, arroganta brats och andra psykopater.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maps to the Stars about? Toggle content

In the cutthroat world of Hollywood, fame and fortune come at a steep price. The Weiss family, led by TV psychologist Stafford (John Cusack) and his wife Cristina (Olivia Williams), are chasing celebrity and success at any cost. Their teenage son Benjie (Evan Bird) is a controversial child actor struggling to get his career back on track after a stint in rehab. Meanwhile, Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), a fading actress desperate to reprise her mother's iconic role, turns to Stafford for help. But as the family's dark secrets and ghosts from the past come back to haunt them, they must confront the true cost of their obsessive pursuit of fame. With Mia Wasikowska as Agatha Weiss, the scarred and estranged daughter of the family who takes a job as Havana's personal assistant, this savage satire of Hollywood's excesses and obsessions reveals the emptiness and desperation beneath the glamour and glitz.
