I admired the underlying message, and the seemingly clever imagery. I loved the unique atmosphere that is similar to Terry Gilliam's Brazil…

Major failure to deliver, but there is definitely something odd and charming about this film, so I could not give it a poor rating…

Disappointing. Aside from some very awesome puppets/special effects…

This movie is a crazy trip! The more sense you try to make out of it, the less sense it actually makes. Its clever, well acted and fucked up…

For those unfamiliar with William S. Burroughs, this film adaptation of his novel Naked Lunch may not be for you…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Del H (99) on 31 Aug 2014

I think that it can be a bit self-indulgent in its almost obsessive homage to Burroughs and the film lacks the edgy satire that made the novel…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Imthenoob (1,101) on 08 Jul 2023

It's a hard film to review because it is based on a book that can either be read in a linear or non-linear way…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Mark A (1,301) on 28 Oct 2015

Arguably Cronenberg's most bizarre and least accessible film, Naked Lunch paints a brilliantly symbolic- if at times punishingly unpleasant-…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Richard D (1,732) on 27 Dec 2015

Amazing. Cronenberg's best work IMO. A trip from start to end, not for the close minded. William S's work was done great justice in this movie…

If I had to choose between sitting through this movie again or cholera, I'd choose cholera - it's less painful…

Review of The Alphabet Murders (1965)

By Muldy C (1) on 24 Oct 2010

Falls flat because of how silly it is and campy , but Tony Randall gives such a great performance that raises it. Robert Morley was also great…

Review of Elling (2001)

By Wade Major (240) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 01 Jun 2002

Review of Dark Journey (1962)

By Ken D (553) on 30 Mar 2008
