Dead Ringers

"Cronenberg, who has begun to emerge as a master of body-related horrific fantasy, clearly understands that a small amount of medical mischief can be more unnerving than conventional grisliness.2 

"The most chilling film in Cronenberg’s filmography, as well as his most tragic and haunting." 

"Really sordid stuff that becomes ridiculous, painful, unbelievable and tedious." 

"Watching 'Ringers' is not unlike watching a critical operation -- unnerving but also enthralling." 

"Parts of the script seem lifted out of one of those women’s magazine articles (...) It’s the kind of movie where you ask people how they liked it, and they say, 'Well, it was well made' (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"A relentlessly chilling, grotesque, and unmistakably Cronenbergian exercise in psychological horror" 

"Irons gives two virtuoso performances as the brothers, while Cronenberg proves again that few can match his originality or vision (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"An intense psychological drama which confronts [Cronenberg's] familiar preoccupations -- fear of physical and mental disintegration, mortality, the power struggle between the sexes -- without the paradoxical protection of visceral disgust."
