Maybe audiences but not critics.

Still looking for a distribution deal

Miserable state of affairs when a Cronenberg film languishes like this, even if the reviews are middling. Especially with some of the crap that does get released without issue.

Surprised Neon isn’t stepping in. Wonder if they were hoping for higher numbers with Crimes.

David Cronenberg in person… experience of a lifetime!

Hazel Motes · 04-28-2025, 06:46 AM

Saw this tonight. David Cronenberg has lost it. Well, he’s lost me anyhow. The 2 worst films in his career are now his last 2. Jesus that ending fell flatter than a plate full of piss. The 20 or so people that were in the cinema with me started laughing, out of what I assume was shock, when the credits came up. Speaking of laughter I found myself constantly laughing out loud at moments that weren’t supposed to elicit such a response. The acting was rough, too. Incredible Oscar nominated performers, turning in amateur performances. The film itself was a muddy swamp of different half baked ideas that are never fully explored. Cronenberg is an all time favorite director, so I’ll still see anything he does, but if his last two films are any indication, the future of his filmmaking is about as bleak as the worldview he puts forward in his films. 2.5/5 because at least Diane Kruger got naked.

Saw this one about a week ago and it hasn't left my mind, one of my very favourite Cronenbergs and easily the best film of the year for me. One of the few modern films that I think really captures the 2020s in all it's insanity.

Not that it isn't heavy emotionally but I think it's being a bit oversold on JUST that aspect of it (Cronenberg dealing with the grief of his late wife) when it's also his funniest film by far! It's a truly bizarre (even for him) and dense work, I'm not surprised it's divided people so sharply but...I'm excited to see it again.

Hopefully this gets a 4K.

The master of body horror tries to make sense of the loss of his wife and collaborator (costume designer Denise Cronenberg) by making a movie about body grief. Unlike another revelatory project from a couple of months ago - The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow - the deeply personal raison d'être of The Shrouds comes through, and it's ultimately moving even though the film itself is static and devoid of thrills (though not lacking in droll humor). Can't imagine not recommending this, as unspectacular as it is, to anyone who respects Cronenberg as an artist.

Since it's guaranteed to be a Janus Contemporary (unless it's also following in the paw steps of "Flow" and getting a full Criterion), it would honestly make sense for it to be the first Contemporary to get a 4K.
