Review For Cosmopolis |
It feels like each and every moment bursts forth with urgent dialogue, and yet what does anyone actually say? Stephanie Merry-Washington Post
There's not really a movie there, nothing that sustains itself from scene to scene and nothing that's worth watching from beginning to end. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
The film is all too faithful to its un-cinematic source. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Cosmopolis," because of its allegiance to the book's mannered, offbeat language, feels like it never wakes up. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Poor Pattinson does the best he can. He's not terrible. But he's definitely out of his element, if not beyond his depth, an altar boy in a bishop's robes. Mark Feeney-Boston Globe
The story seems to cleave into cerebral disquisition and primal sex. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
Cronenberg's cold, exacting precision and emotionally removed observation may not grab all viewers, but under those perfect surfaces is a raw horror trying to claw out of the denial. Sean Axmaker-Parallax View
"Cosmopolis" is a hypnotic examination of our modern anxieties about the dehumanization brought on by wealth, power, and technology. Tim Grierson-Deadspin
While not one of Cronenberg's stronger films, this anti-capitalist adaptation still merits attention. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
Robert Pattinson works mighty hard to make Cosmopolis more than just an erudite slap at modern capitalism. The Twilight heartthrob ultimately fails to rescue a meandering story hitting stale versions of the same talking points. Christian Toto-Big Hollywood
The anger over the injustice of the financial collapse and bailout is what powered the Tea Party movement as well as the Occupy Wall Street movement, and it powers this movie, too. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
The specter of Cosmopolis, David Cronenberg's latest fuck-all wonder, now haunts home video in this pristine Blu-ray transfer, laden with all the contextual cultural capital you could ever hope for. Budd Wilkins-Slant Magazine
Director David Cronenberg keeps the claustrophobic story flowing at a rapid pace, and Pattinson shows genuine acting chops, carrying what amounts to something of a one-man show. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine
For those who like their Cronenberg thick and chewy Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
For better or worse - often both - Cosmopolis is a quintessential David Cronenberg film. Cosmopolis is simultaneously fascinating and impenetrable, profound and absurd, labyrinthine yet intimate. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat
For one of the smartest films I've seen in a while, Cosmopolis is also one of the least outwardly enjoyable. That by no means makes it anything less than a great film however. Patrick Kolan-Shotgun Critic
Its major problem is that it's not cinematic. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's fascinating to watch Pattinson actually acting, rather than merely brooding through another "Twilight" movie, but he's as trapped in Cronenberg's sterile intellectualism as Packer is in his leather-upholstered hell. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
A black comedy as dry and deadpan as a bleached skull. To this end, the movie opens with a sort of death's-head grin: an in-your-face closeup of the grille of a stretch limousine... John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
For all the doomsday build-up we get in the first 90 minutes, Packer's primary antagonist turns out to be such a mundane construct you can't help but feel crestfallen. Pete Vonder Haar-Houston Press
While 'Cosmopolis' is mostly emotionless and a big letdown it isn't completely boring and has the potential to be better with repeat viewings, but it just isn't as good as a Cronenberg film should be. Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
In the past, Cronenberg has used such deadpan performances to striking effect, but in the case of Cosmopolis, the approach just leaves a giant vaccum in the soul of the celluloid Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide
... a movie about a sentient zombie, trapped in a womblike limousine while outside the dead souls of Manhattan roil, spraying paint on his windows and hurling rats. Everything he wants is posthumous. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Those who said Don DeLillo's book was unfilmable were wrong. This is a film. That much is undeniable. Whether it's a compelling one is a whole other question. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
The rapid dialogue is dry and mannered, like a David Mamet play, there's virtually no story and Cronenberg's visual scheme is cold and claustrophobic. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
