Personal shopper (2016)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2016
Director: Olivier Assayas
Actors: Kristen Stewart
Country: F, D
Genre: Drama, Thriller
Conditions of visioning: 02.01.2017, Schauburg, OV Sneak Preview, English version with German subtitle
Synopsis: Maureen (Steward) is a young North American living in Paris as a personal shopper for a celebrity. She does not like the job but it pays the bills to live in Paris where she is waiting for the spirit of Lewis, her recenlty died twin brother.
One day she starts receiving messages on her cell phone from an unknown person knowing a lot about her.
Review: Olivier Assayas is able of excellent movies such as Carlos, Sils Maria, having a strong scriptstory and managing to get famous actors. The story is actually not so bad. The rythm of the movie is given by the alternating emails she receives and boutiques she visits. The contrast is huge and is actually an interesting feature. 
But in none of the scenes I have seen Kristen Stewart really in the action. A kind of bored face kept all along the movie. What for?! Strange enough the same specific as in Snow White and the huntsman.
Rating: 2 /10
