Madonna's "W.E" fails to impress critics

W.E., Madonna's biopic of Wallis Simpson and the Prince of Wales is making waves for a being dud. It was mostly panned at the Venice film festival and its Toronto screening.
The movie is a revisionist romanticizing of the relationship that altered the course of a nation. The Independent called it a “rich woman’s vanity project” and a “vacuous, sumptuously mounted fan letter to a dubious idol,” while the Guardian deemed it, “a primped and simpering folly, the turkey that dreamed it was a peacock.”
The Salon wrote: "You can't call "W.E." a total disaster; it's too pretty, too nonsensical and finally too insignificant for that.Rather, it's a heavily decorated and overly complicated exercise in female narcissism, which in its plotless meandering fashion seeks to draw a mystical connection between an unhappy Manhattan wife (Abbie Cornish), circa 1998, and Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough), the Baltimore socialite who married King Edward VIII."
