Film Review - Me You Madness
February 10, 2021
Louise Linton is a Scottish actress who struggled to find parts during her career, last seen on-screen in a tiny role in “Rules Don’t Apply,” a film produced by her then-boyfriend, now-husband, Steven Mnuchin, who founded Dune Entertainment (“Avatar,” “Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties”) before joining the Trump Administration, working as Secretary of the Treasury. After years away from the business, Linton is suddenly back on the scene with “Me You Madness,” a feature written and directed by the performer, who gives herself the lead role. It’s not clear why Linton has returned to the movie industry, but she’s been handed an opportunity to prove her worth here, becoming the boss of a dark comedy that openly lifts from “American Psycho.” There’s bloodshed and the 1980s in all its pop culture glory, but nothing else works in “Me You Madness,” with Linton asking the audience to endure a valentine to her sense of style and humor, hitting all the wrong notes with co-star Ed Westwick. It’s an ego-drenched production that doesn’t become the violent cartoon it wants to be. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
