Review of Cosmopolis (2012) by Spangle — 15 Nov 2015
Cosmopolis is cold and distant, but it is with a purpose as our protagonist is not one of us and is a member of the 1%. We are supposed to feel disconnected from him. Robert Pattinson is absolutely phenomenal here.
He brings a measure of openness, but at the same time, smugness and pompousness that was needed. He is brilliant. The supporting cast is also great. The direction from David Cronenberg is great as usual and so is the cinematography.
Honestly, it is impressive for a film to be so cold and uninviting, yet so brilliant at the same time. This film is incredibly divisive, which is understandable. It simply won't appeal to everyone, but regardless, Pattinson is a thing to behold here and this a film that should move to expunge Twilight from his resume.
