What to Know

Critics Consensus

Narratively unwieldy and tonally jumbled, Maps to the Stars still has enough bite to satisfy David Cronenberg fans in need of a coolly acidic fix.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire 06/18/2016
So here's a mean, nasty little piece of work - and I have a feeling director David Cronenberg would take that as the compliment it's intended to be. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 03/05/2015

This isn't a lousy film; it's a mediocre, ugly film about lousy people. Go to Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 03/05/2015
Hollywood has been disemboweling itself since... Sunset Boulevard and The Bad and the Beautiful, but those movies seem like Cream of Wheat compared to Cronenberg's wicked vision. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network 03/27/2025
2.5/5
A half-baked Hollywood satire that mostly doesn't work aside from an MVP turn by a wonderfully awful Julianne Moore. Go to Full Review Bianca Garner Filmotomy 10/10/2024
Moore manages to capture this lost, lonely, and damaged individual without every being too heavy-handed in her approach. Go to Full Review Bill Bria Vague Visages 06/15/2023
The vapid and self-obsessed showbiz characters of Maps to the Stars go beyond the usual Hollywood satire, as Cronenberg chronicles the various ways their self-delusions and ambitions create an ever larger abyss of lies... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stefiam Apr 6 A brutal representation of what Hollywood life could be with really excellent performances all around, See more Beks C @beks22 Mar 8 I watched this film for Robert Pattinson, and he was great as a limo driver who aspires to be a screenwriter. The movie overall is not my usual cup of tea, but I was deeply impressed with the performances of the entire cast. It is a well-written, gripping film. See more Richard B @RichardB12314 Feb 23 The movie grows on you after watching. The title, the need for power and control, and the damage that control does, torpedoing any success gained, including the laugh out loud criticism of independent movie incest cliches is both sordid, funny, and somehow serious at the same time. See more Unique C. @uniquecliches Dec 22 A dystopian portrayal of Hollywood, with great performances. The main idea of the script is intriguing and may be the sole takeaway from the viewing experience. However, the overall movie is so disjointed and unpleasant. The characters lack any likability, and one cannot really care about their fate or their stories. See more T J. @objects Dec 3 Brilliant, never boring and never nice. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 2 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
