Very weird movie, so dont use your logic, because the story doesnt make much sense and is even ridiculous…

Provocative psychological mystery thriller explores modern culture and the idea of indulgence and the effects of consuming content that impacts…

Call me weird, but I don't see why people rave about this movie. I did not like it. Very boring IMO. I give the movie this, SFX was great…

C'est la période Kro par pack de 6 de David Kronenberg, affectueusement surnommé le Kronenbourg du cinéma de série B parce qu'il en faisait…

Cronenberg's best work, I believe. Maybe Naked Lunch has it beat. Very disturbing and touching on taboo subject matter…

Setting expectations low can sometimes make the most unpleasant experiences tolerable…

envisions a coming world of authoritarian entertainment…

What the hell is this crap…

First of all, I may be a little bias when writing this, as this is one of my favorite films OF ALL TIME…

Weird film. Good though. Love films with surrealism too so I enjoyed it…
