Great décor, shame about the people. Which pretty much sums up
the 1980s. And this movie, which indulges in the decade's worst
excesses. Ostensibly, it's a satire, but, when you're watching
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) fuck a prostitute up the arse to Phil
Collins while admiring himself in the mirror, it's not a satire. It's
disgusting. Bale and Mary Harron, the writer/director, devoted years
to getting the film made. Why? And why Reese Witherspoon? The food in the
opening scene looks great, but by the end of the movie, you'll be glad you
hadn't eaten. One for the freaks.
