A level-headed take on a topic that’s often an excuse for madness and melodrama. You’ll be engrossed and grossed-out, but may suspect there’s a ton of footage under quarantine until the Blu-ray.
Full reviewAction-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and the international team of doctors fighting the outbreak. Directed by Steven Soderberg (Traffic), with an all-star cast including Matt Damon and Kate Winslet.
As the epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community (Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard) races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus. The film also follows ordinary folk (Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow) struggling to survive amongst city quarantines and a society falling apart.

Full reviewContagion is serious, precise, frightening, emotionally enveloping. It’s a highly controlled film about an out-of-control event, a film so sure-handed and intelligent that it has an invigorating, even an enlightening, quality.
Full reviewWith simmering tension and some memorable acting performances by a stellar cast, Soderbergh's disease thriller is worth catching.
Full reviewA starkly effective ensemble drama which could well do for the sniffles what Jaws did for great whites.
Full reviewSoderbergh brings a cold-blooded approach to Contagion, and the chill generally serves the material well.
