The reviews of Filth & Wisdom, Madonna's ... [Madonna]
The reviews of Filth & Wisdom, Madonna's feature film directorial debut that premiered today at the Berlin Film Festival, are in. Consensus: She directs better than she acts! A sampling: "Ragged, uneven and potholed with some dire dialogue and performances, the film's eyed optimism and likeable leads conspire to bring a smile by the time it's done." -THR "What saves the film is its sheer exuberance, and, of course, the music...Altmanesque would be stretching the compliment too far, but 'Filth and Wisdom' shows Madonna has real potential as a film director." -The Times "Madonna has been a terrible actor in many, many films and now -- fiercely aspirational as ever -- she has graduated to being a terrible director. She has made a movie so incredibly bad that Berlin festivalgoers were staggering around yesterday in a state of clinical shock." -The Guardian [Yahoo/Reuters]
