David Cronenberg's cringe-inducing gore has twists that offer up some truly provocative questions about technology, the body and sexuality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

It felt as if Mortensen was doing an impression of Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in “Blade Runner” (1982) with a healthy mix of Nosferatu with Tenser’s oversized slim sleeves, crouching in corners, always in black, lurking in the shadows, sometimes masked

Extraneous organs, plastic consumption and Giger-esque bio-mechanisms all feature in this wholly unique neo-noir, with plenty to satisfy fans of Cronenberg's early "body horror" work.

Crimes of the Future may be better described as ‘echoes of the past,’ yet it is evocative enough to avoid at any stage being boring.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2023

Diverting without ever feeling essential, Crimes Of The Future is David Cronenberg treading water. It’s competently made and good to look at, but it lacks the weight or the shock factor of his finer work.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2023

In replicating buzz created around Crash, Crimes of the Future can't escape being compared to it. For all its outrage marketing, Crimes of the Future doesn't live up to its hype.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 9, 2023

It doesn’t quite make it as classic Cronenberg, but there’s enough sly humour, icy cold dialogue, and literally stomach-turning gore erotica to make it well worth a watch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 1, 2023

Welcome to a world where humans create new organs, pain doesn’t exist, people eat plastic, and surgery is the new sex.

| Jul 26, 2023

A thematically rich film but with a surface level approach that really only asks questions & intrigues you with these questions while dangling some answers…. But never truly going fully into the entire concept.

| Jul 25, 2023

The trouble with Crimes of the Future is that it feels like it’s missing its final twenty minutes. While it doesn’t have the most abrupt ending possible, there was so much left on the table that needed a complete follow-through.

Long live the new flesh, where the body is reality, both blood curdling and stimulating. Thank you, David Cronenberg!

| Original Score: A | Jul 19, 2023

Crimes of the Future doesn’t offer the same opportunities of mid-2000s highlights like ‘A History of Violence’ and ‘Eastern Promises,’ but Mortensen balances the ridiculous and the sublime like few others.

| Jun 13, 2023

As far as comparisons to the two other Cronenberg films I think are similar, "Crash" and "eXistenZ," I think this is inferior in terms of quality and budget. The budgetary issues show up mostly in terms of low-rent sets and other production compromises.

| Original Score: C | Jan 27, 2023

Welcome back to body horror, David Cronenberg. We’ve missed you. And sure, you can bring Viggo Mortensen along.

It’s not even a little surprising that David Cronenberg wrote the screenplay for Crimes of the Future twenty years ago and didn’t change a thing in bringing his vision to life in 2022.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jan 3, 2023

David Cronenberg’s CRIMES OF THE FUTURE is a work of such exquisite horror and refined subtlety that it is pure sex. It is funny, trenchant, and so far ahead of most directors with its musing on the nexus of art, pain, sexuality, and politics.

| Dec 28, 2022

Cronenberg finds new entry points into these themes, making fresh incisions that feel distinctly modern. Crimes of the Future is not a carbon copy of its director’s greatest hits. It’s a manifesto.

| Dec 27, 2022

Crimes of the Future literally is not for the faint of heart. Were it has some amazing imaginary, very heavy artist suggestion and design, and some great performances from the whole cast; this is not a film to watch out of enjoyment or entertainment.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Dec 26, 2022

Crimes of the Future dissects a compelling cross section of Cronenberg’s body of work.

| Original Score: A- | Dec 4, 2022

Cronenberg's style [is] a finely honed, mysterious ability to make medium-shot coverage of characters talking on chiaroscuro-shaded stage builds weirdly entrancing.
