Christina Newland iNews.co.uk David Cronenberg's cringe-inducing gore has twists that offer up some truly provocative questions about technology, the body and sexuality. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) For all its nostalgic pleasures and sardonic nods, this remains a footnote to the main body of Cronenberg’s work – a playful step back rather than an evolutionary leap forward. Rated: 3/5 Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle While one can’t help but feel that more coherent and vastly superior work is being done by the likes of Brandon Cronenberg, it's still great to have Cronenberg senior back, thriving and shocking the masses once more. Rated: 4/5 Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views 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 Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Calum Baker Radio Times 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. May 9, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney Mr. Movie's Film Blog 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.
