Crimes of the Future | Ratings & Reviews

Camp, icky and weird, David Cronenberg's return to body horror will please anyone wanting to see either organs harvested as performance art, unlikely performances from its all-star trio of leads - or both.

"This slow-paced, action-light film... is an unmoored, dreamlike meditation on the filmmaker’s recurrent topics: transgressive sex, art and politics, nightmarish visions of organic matter."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"It’s marvelous to have Cronenberg back and to behold his undimmed, unparalleled skill at welding the formulations of horror and science fiction to the cinema of ideas."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"The film offers up more mysteries than it solves. Still, riveting work from Viggo Mortensen and Léa Seydoux... will draw the curious to this Neon release."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Pure, essential Cronenberg..."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"It’s an extraordinary planet that Cronenberg lands us down on, and insists we remove our helmets before we’re quite sure we can breathe the air."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Provocatively feverish stuff from the dearly missed vintage annals of Cronenberg."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"Crimes Of The Future feels authentically part of the filmmaker’s uniquely weird oeuvre... even if the low-energy, overly-talky, oddly open-ended script doesn’t hit the heights of his ’80s heyday."

Total FilmTotal Film

"It’s a body-horror movie that keeps growing new “ideas.”"

VarietyVariety

"There’s more than enough here to hope that Cronenberg still has a masterpiece or two yet to (emerge)..."

Time OutTime Out

"There's not much to grab onto logic-wise, because so little is revealed. That leaves Cronenberg's gifted cast to pile intrigue and emotion on a mostly blank page."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"Crimes of the Future is silly and elegant, and it might make you squirm a little..."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"(Unlike Crash) there’s no shock of the new in Crimes of the Future."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"It is immediately one of the great mysteries of cinema that a film featuring mutant ballet dancers, open-air surgery and eroticised wound-licking could be punishingly dull, but the veteran director David Cronenberg has managed it."

The TimesThe Times

"But a Cronenberg sketch – and that’s what it feels like – offers more to chew over than most bloated epics."

The Irish TimesThe Irish Times

"There are a lot of long conversations which ultimately don’t say a great deal."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"Some will balk at the slow pacing... but with committed performances, humour and twisted imagery, it’s Cronenberg at his best."
