Personal Shopper: Kristen Stewart Stars In A Fascinating Study On Loneliness And Fear Which Ends Up Being An Enticing Mess
When "Twilight" debuted in 2008, no one expected anything of Kristen Stewart. Now fast forward to 2017 and Stewart has quite possibly made the movie that puts her on the map.
"Personal Shopper" takes place in the beautiful Paris fashion world, where Stewart's character, Maureen Cartwright finds herself tangled in a daring mystery. I could describe more, but not knowing whats around each bend, is the most intriguing part of the film, along with Stewart's absolute knockout performance.

The tone of "Personal Shopper" is all over the place, as it tries to balance mystery with drama and horror with suspense. It ultimately fails in doing so, but the attempt is enticing to experience. Watching each scene unfold as Stewart nervously ticks through the Paris/London streets is equally annoying and fascinating to endure.

Would I recommend it to anyone? Probably not, unless your looking for a film that would even make Hitchcock scratch his head. But the enjoyment I had watching Stewart act the crap out of her role and the hauntingly crafted scenes made the trip at least somewhat worth my time.
