• The film received 4 out of 5 stars noted on Allocine HERE.
• [Cosmopolis] is puzzling, annoying, surprising, exciting.
• [Cronenberg] has fun mix of violence and humor, science fiction and gives rise to sorrow, the careless and tragedy.
• [Pattinson] is perfect: annoying, arrogant, talkative and charming.
• Robert Pattinson has merit. And charm. Adding that the car is pleasant, with soft lighting and bar in digital gadgets.
• [Cronenberg's] film is like no other, is a signature elegance, its willingness to move away from Hollywood is constant.
• Cosmopolis is the lament of the crisis.
• David Cronenberg has always loved the mix of genre cinema and philosophy.
• Two worlds collide: the smooth surfaces, brushed steel, glass, lacquer, and the disorder, old furniture, dirty shirts, peeling walls. That, ultimately, that the hero will see his sad destiny tie. The discomfort, although this is the keyword of Cronenberg film.
