Angelina Jolie received a standing ovation at the Colorado Film Festival, and the film with Brad Pitt failed in Venice The 49-year-old actress won a symbolic victory over her 60-year-old ex-husband. Angelina Jolie’s film was warmly received by the public, but the new work of Brad Pitt (Brad Pitt) was not appreciated by critics.
Legion-Media Hollywood stars are in the spotlight with high-profile premieres. Angelina triumphantly presented the film “Maria” about the opera singer Maria Callas at the 81st Venice Festival, she burst into tears to an 8-minute ovation from the audience. Immediately after that, Jolie left for the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, where her work again met with an enthusiastic reaction from the public. Angie, visibly touched, covered her mouth with her hand and put her other hand to her chest, expressing her gratitude to the audience.
Brad Pitt, meanwhile, arrived in Venice in the company of his 34-year-old lover Ines De Ramon. He presented the film “Lone Wolves”, in which he starred with George Clooney, on the carpet the latter was joined by his wife Amal. However, the collaboration between the two famous actors received harsh reviews from critics.
Lone Wolves is the first time Pitt and Clooney have shared a screen since 2008’s After Reading Burn. In the new project, the actors play “cleaners” who are tasked with covering up crimes, but they are reluctant to team up when they are assigned one job. The Apple TV+ movie cost $200 million and is scheduled to premiere in theaters on September 20. Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband’s fee was $35 million. However, it will only be in the box office for a week, and then it will appear on the streaming platform, according to Daily Mail.
“This is a brilliant college film from a wealthy teenager who was fed the media diet of early Guy Ritchie,” said critic Siddhant Adlaha of IGN. “Perhaps this is a joke from director Jon Watts, who made a fortune from the Spider-Man trilogy from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, because what he made is essentially a movie about a meme in which two spiders point at each other,” – said The Guardian columnist Xan Brooks.
“George Clooney recently complained that Quentin Tarantino does not consider him a movie star. If he makes more films like this, Clooney will soon prove Tarantino right,” said Robbie Collin of The Telegraph. Critics say Watts bet on Clooney and Pitt’s star status to make a box office hit for a film with a lackluster plot and ill-conceived script that has little humor or heart.
