Critics Consensus

Quintessential if not classic Cronenberg, Crimes of the Future finds the director revisiting familiar themes with typically unsettling flair.

Audience Consensus

It has a creative concept and some interesting ideas, but Crimes of the Future might feel like punishment if you aren't a big Cronenberg fan.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

For all its nostalgic pleasures and sardonic nods, this remains a footnote to the main body of Cronenberg’s work – a playful step back rather than an evolutionary leap forward.

Rated: 3/5

Linda Marric

The Jewish Chronicle

While one can’t help but feel that more coherent and vastly superior work is being done by the likes of Brandon Cronenberg, it's still great to have Cronenberg senior back, thriving and shocking the masses once more.

Rated: 4/5

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

In this instance, the most shocking thing is that it’s so muddled and dreary. It’s a gore-fest, true enough, but it’s a gore-fest that is mostly a snooze-fest.

Mr. Movie's Film Blog

Crimes of the Future may be better described as ‘echoes of the past,’ yet it is evocative enough to avoid at any stage being boring.

Rated: 3/5

Niall Browne

Movies in Focus

Diverting without ever feeling essential, Crimes Of The Future is David Cronenberg treading water. It’s competently made and good to look at, but it lacks the weight or the shock factor of his finer work.

Rated: 3/5

Exclaim!

In replicating buzz created around Crash, Crimes of the Future can't escape being compared to it. For all its outrage marketing, Crimes of the Future doesn't live up to its hype.

Rated: 6/10
