Those are lovely New Clothes, Emperor

Rating: 4/10 (22 September 2017)

My name is Aaron Darrenofsky, and I am much cleverer than you. Specifically, I can make a horror film except it's not a horror film, you see. It's a very clever metaphor.
But what's it a metaphor for? That's even cleverer, because I don't have to tell you! No, I can leave you to make up your own meaning and then you'll be pleased that you're (nearly) as clever as me! And if you think "What a pile of pretentious claptrap" then I have an army of people who really love The Emperor's New Clothes, and they'll tell you that you're too stupid to understand it.
This starts off well, then you come to realise it's art-house nonsense, just dressed up in horror film clothes. Jennifer Lawrence gives the worst performance of her career so far in a part which her boyfriend has underwritten and badly directed: he has not done her any favours with this unsympathetic, unrealistic, one-note sacrificial lamb.
A bad, horrible film. Please avoid it. And please avoid Aaron Darrenofsky and the similarly named charlatan who made this pile of tripe.
