I think you'll appreciate this great new article about "Maps" from Los Angeles Magazine. Also, quite a nice little rendering of young Agatha.

"Mia Wasikowska continues to kill it in everything."
Does he mean that literally?

So, I finally got to see "Maps" and I agree, Mia is really compelling in the film - she's nuts and dangerous, but she's also vulnerable and sweet and you care about her. This film is amazingly divisive - some find it brilliant or entertaining while some outright hate it, that's what I expected (it's David Cronenberg after all), and I can see how people could have all those feelings - the characters are all super dark (not so much Robert Pattinson, and he has some touching moments with Mia). On another site I said it was kind of a satirical, greek tragedy, soap opera from hell - it's both compelling and repelling. People should see it for themselves - I saw it a second time and there are a number of layers to it that can bring up a lot of different things, I really find it fascinating, but it IS disturbing, though often funny. Mia and Julianne Moore are in another whole universe than they were in "The Kids Are Alright" - they definitely aren't alright here, but I thought their scenes together REALLY worked. All the acting is superb.
