Margaret Qualley must be the most naked person in movies right now. She's like where Paz de la Huerta was ten years ago, before she nuked her career. Qualley's a better actress than de la Huerta, though.
"Stars at Noon" even shows her changing her underwear at one point. She takes off her dress, takes off her green panties, and puts grey ones on. Why was it necessary to show this?
"Stars at Noon" was made by Claire Denis, a director whose movies are more interesting than they are good. Typically they're odd, maybe a bit intriguing, frustrating because they don't give much away, and in the end, forgettable. "Stars at Noon" is no exception.
The trouble is the dialogue. It's just way too obscure, and it gets annoying. You're not sure whether to believe what the characters say or not. Typically whatever they say is contradicted by other characters and you never know who is telling the truth.
Also, perhaps the main problem: the movie is described on Wikipedia as a romantic thriller, but there's no chemistry between Qualley and the English guy who plays the male lead, and the movie is far too unwound and weird to generate any thrills at all.
