Perhaps the movie should've been title W.E. C. As in, Who Even Cares....

Saporta Report (Atlanta)
Rating: 1.5/4 --
A movie that's less about people than the fetishistic obsession with style.

Rating: 2/4 --
It's hard to hate a movie that escorts us to such lovely locales, but instead of marking the territory as her own, Madonna has directed a potentially provocative story like a virgin.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Its period details seem authentic, its casting of historical figures is convincing, and its visual style is mannered to project effortless continuity.
Chicago Sun-Times
W.E. offers astounding proof that a movie can be larded with talent, money and craft, yet fail miserably.

Rating: 1/5 --
A watered-down, at times emotionally manipulative, and often morally one-dimensional biopic.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The film is stylishly shot. And, in weaving the stories of Wally and Wallis, Madonna trusts viewers to move from mood to mood, era to era without overexplanation, the way music-video editing long ago trained us to.

Product Description:
Pop icon Madonna returns to the director's seat for the first time since her 2008 feature debut, FILTH AND WISDOM, for this ambitious romance detailing one lonely woman's obsession with the relationship between King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy) and American divorcée Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough). To Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), no act of devotion in history is more romantic than King Edward VIII abdicating the throne to be with his one true love. But the deeper Wally dives into the background of this controversial love affair, the more apparent it becomes that their relationship was no bed of roses. Now, as each new discovery paints an increasingly dire picture for the once-happy couple, Wally begins to grow disillusioned about the prospect of true love.
