  • Crimes of the Future will open in limited theaters on June 3, before expanding on June 10. Review by Siddhant Adlakha.
    Despite having wonderfully twisted ideas (and great performances to match them), Crimes of the Future isn't the triumphant return David Cronenberg fans might have hoped for. Set in a world where the disappearance of pain has led to gory new performance art, the film presents imaginative questions about expression and sexuality, but mostly asks them in words, rather than exploring them cinematically.

    Had anyone else noticed the same actor plays the same character from the film Existenz in this film?? Namely Don McKeller as Yevgeny Nourish?? What does this mean.... are the 2 films part of the same story or universe or is this all taking place IN the Extistenz game??

    Almost all of the performances in this are stilted, wooden and ineffective. Mortenson with his constant raspy batman voice as he tries to convey his characters throat issues is wholly unconvincing and forced in every scene. The only performance that deserves praise is that of Lihi Kornowski as the mother of the murdered plastic eating child Brecken. Otherwise the film is horribly miscast and overly heavy on dialogue. A disappointment from Cronenberg despite some interesting ideas.

    Not Cronenburgs best film by a longshot. The "provocative stuff" felt un-earned, cheap and very hard to take seriously. Combined with depressing settings that looked like something out of an eastern europe dumping ground and no real story to speak of made for a lackluster experience. 2 of 5.
