Certainly not a film for the masses.

Keira Knightley... will be tough to beat at next year's Academy Awards for her portrayal of Spielrein

A sensitive yet intellectually robust work.

With its underworld themes and ambiguous protagonist, Eastern Promises plays like a companion to A History of Violence.

Cronenberg has created a dazzling star in the futuristic psycho-thriller firmament.

A coherent narrative and interesting, three-dimensional characters.

An unflinching indictment of the savagery at the heart of the American dream.

A polished, handsomely produced piece of work delivered with real confidence.
