Angelina Jolie’s “Without Blood” is also without good reviews.
The film she directed starring Salma Hayek and Demian Bachir has been panned by critics at the Toronto Film Festival.
Five of the six reviews posted to Rotten Tomatoes are splats. Others that have just posted to their own publications didn’t like it much either.
Lucky for Jolie, she also stars in “Maria” as opera star Maria Callas. Pablo Lorrain directed Natalie Portman to an Oscar nomination in “Jackie” and got raves for Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana.
Jolie will be in the Oscar buzz circle for “Maria,” according to reviewers, who gave it a 74%.
But “Without Blood” is more problematic. The negative reviews won’t help Fremantle, an odd choice for distributor but also the company Jolie signed a three picture deal with to direct her own movies. “Without Blood” would seem like a quick candidate for streaming.
