    ehh... I'm in the camp of naysayers and think this was just okay. it's better than cosmopolis and has some rather neat visuals here and there, but in the end it lacks impact and is way too long. additionally the weird and irritating performances of mortensen and (most of all) kristen stewart stressed me out to the point it almost took me out of the movie. at least we get some gratuitous nudity from lea seydoux, but again nothing memorable about it, because she's showing off her bush in every other movie anyway.

    I really enjoyed this, just the sort of twisted pick-me-up that I needed today. Yes, the script is a mess, but I didn't really care. I just enjoyed the absurdist, strangely comforting body horror and Cronenberg's sly humour. The score was just perfect too.

    But that drill to the head dummy was so fucking bad!

    As I’ve mentioned to some friends of mine, I predict that once AI takes over the world and can resort to its own leisure time, its two favorite movie directors will both have the same last name.

    I had a quick glance but couldn't find the budget but the original swing at the script in the early 2000s was budgeted at $35 million according to wikipedia. Someones taking a bath on this thing. I wonder what the likes of Netflix and HBO would have paid to have had this film exclusively for a few months without a theatrical release. I'm sure it would have been a hell of a lot more than $2.5 million.

    It might be a combination of the rights being comparatively expensive precisely because it's a new film by David Cronenberg and the various national distributors just not seeing enough potential audience in the marketplace right now. I am quite upset that it won't get a theatrical release until November in my country but that could also be down to the same reasons. (Another factor might be the odd but well-established belief that "horror" only works in the fall season.) I really wanted to see this theatrically but I don't have the patience to wait another 5 months.

    Not sure what the status is now, but Alan Jones said it hadn't sold a couple of weeks ago, and that the poor US box office was unlikely to help.
