Mapplethorpe (2018)
Directed by Ondi
Timoner this biographical film stars Matt Smith, John Benjamin Hickey
and McKinley Belcher III. We follow the career of ground breaking gay
photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
This is one of those
biographies that shows you who a person is but never really shows how
they became that person. I really dislike that the film pushes the
idea of natural talent above any sort of learned skill. Well made and
certainly provocative I found this film to ultimately be a
disappointment relying a bit too much on shock value.
2/5
