Tom Charity of LOVEFiLM reviewed Cosmopolis & gave it a five star rating which is so great to see. Plus he has some positive words for Rob which we always love to read. Here are some excerpts from his review, highlighted parts my emphasis:

…That’s David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s 2003 novel in a nutshell, and if you have been fooled by that kickass trailer into expecting something dynamic and punchy, well you have been fooled, because the movie is a different beast entirely.

But it is brilliant, I think, a long-awaited return to the kind of subversive science fantasy that used to be Cronenberg’s specialty, before he went all respectable (well, I exaggerate, but A Dangerous Method, Eastern Promises and A History of Violence are well-behaved films in comparison).

…Some folks are reluctant to admit Robert Pattinson can act. They will come round eventually. The guy is more than his haircut. This is a talky script, but he navigates it with skill and conviction, especially the lengthy two-hander with Paul Giamatti at the climax. (I cannot wait for this scene – Michelle)

Slyly funny and at least as philosophical as it is political – by which I mean it’s as concerned with existential angst as much as social inequities – I predict Cosmopolis will come to be seen as one of Cronenberg’s purest accomplishments.
