Surrealist cinema at its finest. Delightfully weird. a beautiful soundtrack, convincing acting, and unforgettable bizarre moments define this movie…

I generally like David Cronenberg but this is just an incoherent mess…

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

Review of Naked Lunch (1991)

By Jani L (54) on 08 Jul 2018

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)

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-…

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
