With each passing David Cronenberg that I watch, I become convinced that my latest viewing in his filmography may just be the weirdest one…

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

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

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…

An insane book by an insane author translated, albeit roughly, into an insane movie by an insane director...I love it! :)…

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 Moore S (133) on 29 Nov 2016

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

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for Time (1,811) on 01 Jan 2017

The movie is way too colorful - cute, in a repulsive way, with its crawly special effects - and tame compared with its source…

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Jaime R (504) on 12 Sep 2014

Cronenberg has made rather twisted films, but this one is a showcase of his talent for incredibly twisted substance…

By Jakub M (52) on 18 Aug 2014

Very odd, Al Pacino looks terrible, Robin Williams is completely underused, Hilary Swank isn't in the poster. Some nice photography…

Review of Contempt (1963)

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

This is not satire. This is self-indulgence. Godard's 'Contempt' is a lifeless, soulless trudge full of conceit and pseudointellectualism…
