Don’t you just hate it when a movie has a stellar cast, including two Oscar winners (Cate Blanchett and Alicia Vikander), but doesn’t quite know what to do with them? Or it puts them through humiliating sequences far below their status and acting abilities. Such is the case with “Rumours” (Bleecker Street), co-directed by Evan Johnson, Galen Johnson, and Guy Maddin (!), a sort of Wes Anderson meets Ari Aster mash-up that somehow isn’t funny or scary enough.
