Cosmopolis (2012)

Hated it. Robert Pattinson (first appeared in these pages for Water for Elephants) rides around New York in his limo, occasionally getting out, in pursuit of a bad haircut and, possibly, meaning to his life. There isn't any. Jack and I found it pointless, even though I have long been a fan of director/writer David Cronenberg (covered in A Dangerous Method). Rottentomatoes' critics give this adaptation of the Don Delillo novel 64% but its audiences are more in line with us at 47. Surprisingly, it was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes earlier this year. There's no accounting for taste.
