Madge Braves The Critics

Critics who panned Madonna’s latest attempt at film directing will be filling their pens with vitriol at the news that she’d like to do it again.

“It doesn’t matter what the critics think, it’s what the public thinks,” she said as her much-maligned “W.E.” premiered at the London Film Festival Oct. 23.

Critics weren’t impressed with her take on the love story of American socialite Wallis Simpson and the UK’s King Edward VII.

The Guardian stuck the boot in hardest by calling it a “primped and simpering folly,” describing it as “the turkey that dreamed it was a peacock.”

The Times said she’d made “a terrific comedy” but doubted that she’d done so on purpose.

Madonna also hinted that she would like a musical of her life made, with the Daily Mail claiming that she said: “I’d want Andrea Riseborough to play me, because she’s incredible to work with and I’d work with her again.”

Riseborough, a 29-year-old British actress, played the title role in “W.E.”.
