Humane

"Caitlin Cronenberg’s slight but steel-eyed 'Humane' takes a hard look — or at least an unflinching glance — at the irreconcilable relationship between self-interest and saving the planet 

"Cronenberg vests her images with an eerie, confident power, but that’s more evident in her examinations of the frictions between the characters, and not so much in the tapestry of murder and mayhem that ensues. Unfortunately, too much of the second half is focused on the latter (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"[It] builds this world at a satisfyingly rapid speed, raising stakes so quickly that you’re left breathless as the implications sink in" 

"A darkly humorous horror thriller that invites viewers to have some fun with the arguably dreadful and untenable state of the world" 

"Cronenberg turns out to be a terrific director of actors, and we're held by the toxic theatrical juiciness of the sibling rivalry" 

"In isolation, the bifurcation works but, taken together, it suggests an underbaked concept that was never fully realized" 

"The film boasts a strong cast, with an excellent performance by Enrico Colantoni in particular, and effective scenes of body horror."
