"Madeline's Madeline" is the third feature written and directed by Josephine Decker (after “Butter on the Latch” and “Thou Wast Mild and Lovely”). Just like its predecessors this one tries to break more rules than it can chew on. The result is messy. There's a strange absurdity to 'Madeline" that sometimes renders it as a brilliant exercise and other times makes it feel rather pretentious and "off."
