Review For Cosmopolis
It's fascinating but anti-cinematic and a frustrating film to get your arms around. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service It feels like each and every moment bursts forth with urgent dialogue, and yet what does anyone actually say? Stephanie Merry-Washington Post There's not really a movie there, nothing that sustains itself from scene to scene and nothing that's worth watching from beginning to end. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle The film is all too faithful to its un-cinematic source. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Poor Pattinson does the best he can. He's not terrible. But he's definitely out of his element, if not beyond his depth, an altar boy in a bishop's robes. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe The story seems to cleave into cerebral disquisition and primal sex. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader The anger over the injustice of the financial collapse and bailout is what powered the Tea Party movement as well as the Occupy Wall Street movement, and it powers this movie, too. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope The specter of Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg's latest fuck-all wonder, now haunts home video in this pristine Blu-ray transfer, laden with all the contextual cultural capital you could ever hope for. Budd Wilkins-Slant Magazine Director David Cronenberg keeps the claustrophobic story flowing at a rapid pace, and Pattinson shows genuine acting chops, carrying what amounts to something of a one-man show. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine For those who like their Cronenberg thick and chewy Marty Mapes-Movie Habit For better or worse - often both - Cosmopolis is a quintessential David Cronenberg film. Cosmopolis is simultaneously fascinating and impenetrable, profound and absurd, labyrinthine yet intimate. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat For one of the smartest films I've seen in a while, Cosmopolis is also one of the least outwardly enjoyable. That by no means makes it anything less than a great film however. Patrick Kolan-Shotgun Critic Its major problem is that it's not cinematic. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews It's fascinating to watch Pattinson actually acting, rather than merely brooding through another "Twilight" movie, but he's as trapped in Cronenberg's sterile intellectualism as Packer is in his leather-upholstered hell. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune A black comedy as dry and deadpan as a bleached skull. To this end, the movie opens with a sort of death's-head grin: an in-your-face closeup of the grille of a stretch limousine... John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) For all the doomsday build-up we get in the first 90 minutes, Packer's primary antagonist turns out to be such a mundane construct you can't help but feel crestfallen. Pete Vonder Haar-Houston Press While 'Cosmopolis' is mostly emotionless and a big letdown it isn't completely boring and has the potential to be better with repeat viewings, but it just isn't as good as a Cronenberg film should be. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com In the past, Cronenberg has used such deadpan performances to striking effect, but in the case of Cosmopolis, the approach just leaves a giant vaccum in the soul of the celluloid Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide ... a movie about a sentient zombie, trapped in a womblike limousine while outside the dead souls of Manhattan roil, spraying paint on his windows and hurling rats. Everything he wants is posthumous. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Those who said Don DeLillo's book was unfilmable were wrong. This is a film. That much is undeniable. Whether it's a compelling one is a whole other question. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune The rapid dialogue is dry and mannered, like a David Mamet play, there's virtually no story and Cronenberg's visual scheme is cold and claustrophobic. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Cosmopolis" is proof that a film can be provocative yet completely un-enjoyable. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com Throws heady ideas at you faster than Michael Bay can explode a building, but the rate at which ideas stick is inconsistent. It does, however, develop a rhythm. The metered language forces you to adjust just as emotion develops. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com A master filmmaker's rumination on capitalism as a vision of diseased titanium Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
