By Zack T (137) on 22 Sep 2014

This is Cronenberg. oozing full of surrealism, giant bugs, and Peter Weller too. A great film. Not for someone with a weak stomach…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Jay Carr (837) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 11 Jun 2014

It feels studiously surrealistic, an excuse for cinematic buggery; deep in its center there's a lack of conviction…

By Will L (551) on 17 Nov 2015

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…

Review of Contempt (1963)

By Ben H (1,875) on 25 Mar 2013
