Review of Contagion (2011)

By Debbie Baldwin (220) for Ladue News (220) on 12 Nov 2018

It's thought provoking-we should all be more circumspect with our hygiene-and it's a realistic look at what would happen if such a viral outbreak…

Review of Contagion (2011)

By Candice Frederick (452) for Reel Talk Online (378) on 07 Sep 2017

A bit of a mixed bag at times, its overall well developed character sketches and good performances will certainly keep the attention of moviegoers…

Review of Contagion (2011)

By Martin Tsai (390) for Critic's Notebook (199) on 06 Oct 2015

Review of Contagion (2011)

By Will Leitch (411) for Deadspin (356) on 21 Jun 2013

By Jeff Beck (630) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 18 Sep 2012
