"Humane" is a superbly crafted and precisely ratcheted film that refuses to fit neatly into any box.

| Dec 19, 2024

Humane‘s overall impact is adversely affected by a wheel-spinning midsection and final third emphasizing the characters’ less-than-enthralling cat-and-mouse exploits...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 16, 2024

An offbeat misfire...

| Jul 29, 2024

Hardcore horror fans will get their dose of mayhem from Humane, though in its modest, tidily organized fashion the film might also get under the skin.

| Jul 25, 2024

Humane is a tight debut from Caitlin Cronenberg, and a delicate balancing act of humor and horrifying ideas. A modern science-fiction thriller that you can't help but get sucked into immediately.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 23, 2024

Though the finale feels a bit too neat and tidy, the film’s grim humor functions like a balm when the questions it raises get too real.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 2, 2024

A timely horror satire chock full of gore and guffaws, Humane entertains in spite of its flaws.

| Jun 2, 2024

The film's social relevance provides a fascinating conversation-starter that encourages audiences to think about their own privileges and biases.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 15, 2024

It's a fun, bloody reminder not only of how far people will go to save themselves, but to always bring pepper spray to an unexpected family dinner.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 14, 2024

It really does get funny, and manages to work out the plot without ticking us off by the end.

| May 10, 2024

All hell breaks loose - a bloody, savage, ugly horror scene, captured close up by writer-director Caitlin Cronenberg, horror meister David Cronenberg’s daughter, who writes a good script. But in the end, it is unrelenting horror, a bloodbath.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 10, 2024

Despite its laudable foray into the moral turpitude of elitism, Human always sticks to the obvious, aiming for satire but settling on stale with a defanged pit of vacuous vipers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 9, 2024

A well-crafted discussion prompt that, for all its momentary shocks and pitch-black humor, leaves one with fascinating questions—not only about what you would do in this family and in this society, but how the film reflects and comments on our world.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 8, 2024

Beyond the lack of subtlety of the message and the lack of depth of the characters, Cronenberg manages to make the proceedings entertaining and handles the actions well within this unique environment. [Full review in Spanish]

As the film unravels, and the bloodlust overshadows the complicated family dynamics, it becomes evident that there is just not enough dimension to the York siblings for one to care either way what happens to them.

| May 6, 2024

Caitlin Cronenberg is not fake news when it comes to being an accomplished artist. HUMANE announces itself – long live the new Cronenberg! Eat the rich before they devour you. The rabid brood are pestilence.

Caitlin Cronenberg rehearses in her feature debut a cruel dystopia in which death becomes a bargaining chip. Humane is as disturbing as it is brutal, with no blood in sight. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: A+ | May 2, 2024

Cronenberg keeps things short and briskly paced, with a mitigating sense of humor — bleak humor, to be sure, but enough to humanize the brittle, often objectionable characters.

| Original Score: B | May 2, 2024

It is a bad sign for this film when it is more fun to imagine its director in the same scenario, given her famous parents and her brother is also a film director. The Cronenbergs discussing Humane over dinner? Now that is something I would pay to see.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 2, 2024

There’s some amusing stuff coming from both the solid cast and the script by Michael Sparaga... So, of course, it’s a shame that this film can’t stick the landing.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 1, 2024
