Whatever the crimes committed by Wallis Simpson 鈥?marrying a king Cheap Mike Smith Jersey , sparking a constitutional crisis, fraternising with Nazis 鈥?it鈥檚 doubtful that she deserves the treatment meted out to her in W.E., Madonna鈥檚 jaw-dropping take on 鈥渢he 20th-century鈥檚 greatest royal love story鈥? The woman is defiled, humiliated, made to look like a joke. The fact that W.E. comes couched in the guise of a fawning, servile snow-job only makes the punishment feel all the more cruel.

Or could it be that Madonna is in deadly earnest here? If so Cheap Radim Vrbata Jersey , her film is more risible than we had any right to expect; a primped and simpering folly, the turkey that dreamed it was a peacock. Andrea Riseborough stars as Wallis, the perky American social climber who meets Edward VIII (James D鈥橝rcy) in London, where she is drawn like a magnet to his pursed lips and peevish air.
Yet Madonna has also taken the decision to run Wallis鈥檚 story in tandem with the story of Wally (Abbie Cornish), a trophy wife in 1990s New York, who totters in and out of the drama like a doped pony. Wally Cheap Clayton Keller Jersey , it transpires, was named after Wallis and is obsessed by the woman to a degree that struck me as deeply worrying, but which Madonna presents as evidence of impeccable good taste.
From time to time, the ghost of Wallis even pays Wally a call to dispense beauty tips or comfort her when she鈥檚 lying injured on the bathroom floor. 鈥淚鈥檓 here,鈥?coos Wallis. 鈥淚鈥檒l always be here.鈥?And seldom has a promise sounded more like a threat.

Madonna wants us to see these two as spiritual twins, in that they are both dazzled by expensive trinkets and searching desperately for love. We know instantly that Wallis鈥檚 first husband is a wrong 鈥榰n because he drags her from the bath and beats her Cheap Arizona Coyotes Hats , and we are invited to take a similar view of Wally鈥檚 spouse when he starts claiming that Wallis and Edward were Nazi-sympathisers, which is patently absurd. 鈥淭hey might have been naive,鈥?Wally scolds him. 鈥淭hat doesn鈥檛 mean that they were Nazis.鈥?p>
What an extraordinarily silly, preening, fatally mishandled film this is. It may even surpass 2008?s Filth and Wisdom, Madonna鈥檚 calamitous first outing as a film-maker. Her direction is so all over the shop that it barely qualifies as direction at all.
W.E. gives us slo-mo and jump cuts and a crawling crane shot up a tree in Balmoral Cheap Arizona Coyotes Hoodies , but they are all just tricks without a purpose. For her big directoral flourish, Madonna has Wallis bound on stage to dance with a Masai tribesman while Pretty Vacant blares on the soundtrack. But why? What point is she making? That social-climbing Wallis-Simpson was the world鈥檚 first punk-rocker? That 鈥?see! 鈥?a genuine Nazi-sympathiser would never dream of dancing with an African? Who can say? My guess is that she could have had Wallis dressed as a clown, bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower to the strains of The Birdy Song and it would have served her story just as well.
鈥淲.E.鈥?tells the story of two fragile but determined women 鈥?Wally Winthrop and Wallis Simpson 鈥?separated by more than six decades. In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward鈥檚 VIII鈥檚 abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorc茅e Wallis Simpson. But Wally鈥檚 research, including several visits to the Sotheby鈥檚 auction of the Windsor Estate Cheap Arizona Coyotes Shirts , reveals that the couple鈥檚 life together was not as perfect as she thought. Weaving back and forth in time, 鈥淲.E.鈥?intertwines Wally鈥檚 journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Andrea Riseborough) and Edward (James D鈥橝rcy), from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their lives in the decades that followed.
