Infinity Pool

"A delightfully sick all-inclusive nightmare..."

"Wildly surreal, unapologetic, violent, and pornographic..."

"If David Cronenberg seems almost indifferent to his audience, Brendon Cronenberg is so fixated on freaking people out that he can sometimes neglect to do much else."

"Soaked in an atmosphere of unrelenting dread, Infinity Pool works its canted camera angles and insistent, drumbeat-heavy score to transfixing effect."

"Cronenberg’s sense of style, paired with an unrelenting sense of dread... and two utterly captivating, depraved leads ensure these provocative waters are worth wading into."

"Infinity Pool’s inspired critique is fierce and funny, its hallucinations nimble and sticky..."

"Brain-shattering as it all is, we can hardly tear our eyes away."

"Cerebral horror, not for the faint of heart."

"It’s a movie that doubles (and triples, and quadruples) down on its ugliness. Yet it has picked its targets well."

"An atmospherical, grubby little downer of a holiday movie that takes on dark tourism... with seductive, sickening style."

"It’s one hell of a twisted ride with a troupe of truly awful characters as our guide."

"Infinity Pool is the savage skewering of our times we deserve."

"Battered brains, too much blood and an eye-roll-inducing plot."

"Attention-securing in the moment but oddly forgettable after, like waking up from a nightmare you can’t remember."

"The go-for-broke extremity lacks the substance to make it more than an aggressive but shallow provocation."

"At times it’s as if (Goth is) channeling Robert De Niro’s Max Cady..."

"The film’s woozy spectacles do eventually become numbing, as does Goth’s turn as the yowling ringleader, but that’s all in line with the experience."

"(Cronenberg's) most assured act of science-fiction effrontery to date."

"It is a self-conscious but effective midnight movie, with strobe and bad-trip sequences that make you want to stay at home for spring break."

"Brandon Cronenberg's brilliant, disturbing thriller is a violent takedown of wealth and privilege."

"Offers heightened, kaleidoscopic visions of violence and sexual revelry before the story rushes towards its conclusion."

"Brandon Cronenberg's slick, strenuously naughty Infinity Pool, letting the characters descend into a moral freefall without any real downside gets tiresome fast."

"It wants to say something about society. It's trying, but it doesn't get there."
