“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.”~Justin Chang, L.A. Times

Aroview: Cult director David Cronenberg's latest sci-fi speculation comes littered with references to his weird and wonderful previous works (incl. Naked Lunch, Existenz and Crash).

It may be the 79-year-old director's most 'Cronenbergian' film to date, fusing at least two of his abiding obsessions as a film-maker – human biological adaptation and fetishized performance art. Viggo Mortensen steps in as his proxy once again, though he's arguably outflanked this time by the two delicious performances of Lea Seydoux and Kristen Stewart.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) That it is a David Cronenberg film is always obvious. Not an easy watch and a second viewing will be not be wasted time. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) I love it when Cronenberg lets his weird sense of humour off the leash - most notable Naked Lunch, eXistenZ and here. Kristen Stewart and Don McKellar are especially funny. ~Pearce
