Mary Harron called Christian Bale's Patrick Bateman is 'dorky and ridiculous' American Psycho director Mary Harron opened up about the response to the movie among "Wall Street Bros," who've idolized Christian Bale's Patrick Bateman.

Marking the movie's 25th anniversary, Mary Harron says “Wall Street bros” have missed that the film is “very clearly” poking fun at them.

The director of American Psycho says many fans are misreading the film. We "never expected it to be embraced by Wall Street bros, at all," says Mary Harron. The film celebrates its 25 th anniversary this year.
