Crimes of the Future

I thought this was less gory than I thought it would be. It had an interesting story and a great cast

Just saw this last night. Wow. They really push it with this one. A bizarre story. With bizarre concepts too. Avant Garde. Surreal. Was surprised they got the cast that they did even though David Cronenberg directed it. He always likes to walk on that edge. Loved his other film, “History of Violence”. This movie is not for kids. If you don’t like looking at blood then this is not for you. No way.

While there maybe underlying messages here the execution just misses the mark. The story is choppy, “futuristic” sets/props look cheap, cinematography is uninspiring, and the acting is unbelievable/at times annoying (e.g., throat clearing of main character…among other things). This is one of those movies that you are angry you wasted a few hours of your life watching. You’ll never get that time back. Don’t fall victim to that Crime.

I never did wrap my head around the bizarre metaphor, "surgery is the new sex." But I was utterly drawn in by the intensity and emotional authenticity with which Viggo Mortensen and Lea Seydoux brought to life all of its shifting jealousies and ecstasies and guilts and sulks and yearnings. This was subtly done -- a half-second facial expression here, a one-syllable inflection of voice there -- but if you're watching closely, it is brilliantly clear. I am NOT into gore or horror, and there was some gore because the "surgery" part of the metaphor supplied the film's visuals. The "sex" part of the metaphor meanwhile supplied the film's emotions. And that -- the acting of those emotions -- is what drew me in.

Don’t waste your money. This film does not qualify for a rating.

Because of your review and advertising of top gun. I was reminded how good the movie was and bought it instead of renting this movie thanks for the tips hate bad movies!

Borinnnnng

Pregnant man? NO! How could watching something like that be entertaining? Sick! Writer didn’t need a pen.. needed a psychiatrist!

I never write reviews but in this case I will. I personally thought this movie is garbage! Waste your time and money at your own risk!

This movie is trash 🗑. I loved A History of Violence, Crash, The Fly and some of his other films but the fact someone write a 32 page essay about how “bold” this movie is, is a complete joke. It’s not worth watching, please avoid it.
