The Shroudsの評価とレビュー
- Scott Thomas2026年3月22日I hate to say it because I grew up watching Cronenberg, but I'm consistently disapointed by his recent work, and loving everything his son does.
- jackmeat2025年6月28日My quick rating - 5.9/10. David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds is one of those films where simply knowing who’s behind the camera sets your expectations, and probably filters who should even watch it. If Cronenberg’s brand of clinical body horror, icy emotional undercurrents, and existential musings isn’t your thing, there’s little chance this one will win you over. But if you’re drawn to his work, this is a fascinating, if uneven, late-career piece that seems to wrestle with mortality as much as the director himself does. The film follows Karsh (Vincent Cassel), a wealthy businessman inconsolable after the death of his wife. In his grief, he’s developed a controversial technology that allows the living to watch their deceased loved ones decomposing in their graves, an unsettling concept that Cronenberg treats with a kind of intellectual curiosity more than outright horror. When Karsh’s wife’s grave, along with many others, is desecrated one night, he becomes obsessed with finding out who is behind it. It’s not hard to see how personal this project is for Cronenberg, who reportedly drew on the loss of his own wife. That somber, introspective energy permeates the film. Unfortunately, so does a bit of clutter. The Shrouds feels loaded with stray thematic threads: critiques of privacy-invading tech, A.I. dependence, capitalism, modern surveillance states, plus jabs at the Chinese, the Russians, and the lifestyles of the rich. There’s a subplot involving Karsh’s personal AI assistant that’s undercooked—just one of several ideas that might’ve been more compelling with deeper exploration. Still, even with its meandering approach, there’s something engrossing about the movie’s cool, calculated tone. Cronenberg paints a world of self-driving cars and phone screens that feels depressingly plausible, yet almost drained of life. Underneath it all is the point, of course: our technology, our shiny devices, still serve our very human, often shameful desires. Whether that’s to feel close to the dead, to voyeuristically intrude on private spaces, or simply to dull our grief. The acting keeps this from tipping over into pure tedium. Vincent Cassel gives Karsh a hollow-eyed vulnerability that makes his obsession with his wife’s grave both sad and disturbingly believable. Diane Kruger is equally up to the task. The supporting cast similarly grounds what could’ve become a detached philosophical essay. This is ultimately one of those movies that might miss as pure entertainment, but a Cronenberg “miss” still lands higher than most directors’ average. The slow burn won’t work for everyone—there were certainly stretches that flirted with boredom—but the emotions at the core are authentic, the sci-fi concepts hauntingly real, and the personal undercurrents hard to shake. If this does turn out to be Cronenberg’s final film, it’s a fittingly morbid yet thoughtful meditation on death, technology, and the strange ways we try (and fail) to keep loss at bay.
- thehave12026年2月4日Disappointing load of garbage from a director that should know better, the best thing in the movie are the design of the shrouds as look but that is it.
- cultfilmliker2026年1月21日Oh so the guy is just a morbid sex addict - that’s simple enough Wild and messy but I did enjoy the ending! You think Cronenberg gave Vincent Cassel The Room as homework for his character orrr? The way he acts, speaks (including some dialogue lmao), and the unreasonably beautiful women he’s having sex with are all too reminiscent! Watching a whole scene on someone’s phone while they’re holding it was hilarious to me Currently Ranked #104/200 in 2025 Ranked
- 0 12025年12月11日The film "The Shrouds" suggests that technology cannot alleviate loss, nor can death be neatly contained. It challenges viewers to confront the implications of technology providing a "window" into the deceased: does such a connection facilitate healing, or does it twist grief into a more complex and troubling phenomenon? The technology is mixed with cultural burial rituals. And a AI avatar of the deceased is created. I like David Cronenberg and several actors in the film, but The script wasn't well written. There are holes in the story, it was disappointing. The British Tv series "Black Mirror" explores these themes in multiple episodes but with a much more coherent script. If it wasn't for the actors, I would give this zero stars.
- ebd3212026年1月1日There are some interesting ideas here that probably could have been reassembled by someone competent into a decent black mirror episode. Instead we get two hours of some of the worst dialogue and performances I can recall, on a quest to nowhere.
- Corey B.2026年1月20日David. We need to talk. I love you man, I've seen every one of your movies. It pains me to rate this so low, but please don't do this anymore. Don't do what Terry Gilliam did. Know when to stop. Just hang your hat, call it a legendary genre defining career... and please don't make any more of whatever mess this was.
- inta942026年1月13日Utterly pointless and nonsensical. its as if the movie thought it had something interesting to say, but forgot what it was... Kept waiting for it to surprise me with something but it never did. A complete waste of time.
- mun4472025年11月12日Didn’t understand the ending, and was just plain weird.
- Timeless Cinema2025年11月2日The dark take on grief & mystery is an interesting one. Unfortunately, the simple facts of the story are presented in a convoluted manner. As you hop back & forth between red herrings & facts. Followed by a deeply insufficient conclusion.
- ricomckee2025年6月21日Dull and boring. This is a high concept film with major ideas and a statement. However, it needs to be watchable and not have the audience be bored to tears in order to receive any message. The film also doesn’t seem to find the footing it is looking for during its course. There is a lot of gratuitous nudity and sex but I could never figure out to what end. Especially a movie dealing with obsession of death. These scenes just seemed out of place and thrown in as “art” when it did nothing to enhance…well anything. The worst sin however is it is boring and dull. I had to rewatch parts several times and found Facebook ads more engaging. Be edgy, have nudity, have a statement… but don’t be boring.
- assassin0072025年6月18日What a strange film. I'm assuming this is the type of film the movie critics like to delve into and make great reviews or use large words to make this type of film into what they want it to be. I was left confused at the end of this film that's for certain, the quality of the production was there I just didn't grasp what was going on.
- Cineit.blog2025年10月14日David Cronenberg is back with a film that is stylish, cold, and ultimately hollow. The premise is fascinating, a technology that lets you watch your dead loved ones decompose in real-time, but the story gets bogged down in a convoluted and boring plot involving corporate espionage that goes nowhere. Vincent Cassel is just okay, and while the movie looks sleek and beautiful, it's an expensive, emotionless experience. It promises a deep, unsettling mystery but fails to deliver anything more than a stylish but empty shell. A major disappointment.
- russrev1ews2025年9月12日If Richard Linklater had a baby with David Lynch, and they both started dabbling more in body horror. Ope. That’s just David Cronenberg. 🤷♂️
- E2025年7月29日intriguing story, very boring execution
