It isn't as polished as the later Brendon

It isn't as polished as the later Brendon Cronenberg movies. I could see potential in it, but it is just the first movie, so it wouldn't be perfect. I found it irritating to see people glorifying celebrity, and it destroyed my experience. It's also her to follow the story, and the concept is quite far-fetched; despite the critics, it delivers being noble. I think "Possessor," from the same director, which is really similar in its tone, is a good example of how good this movie could have been

Decent but slow at times. Unique

Brandon Cronenberg will likely live forever in his

Brandon Cronenberg will likely live forever in his fathers’ very long shadow, but he’s carved out quite a niche for himself with smart, visually stunning and conceptually fascinating movies. Antiviral has some of his hallmarks, but overall it’s a film I found too cold and uninvolving to really get into. I enjoy how it dissects the theme of celebrity worship and the ridiculous levels people will go to be close to their favourite stars, but there’s so little levity in the script or the performances that it becomes more of a chore to get through than anything else. It has the faint whiff of a film that’s too proud of itself, and after a certain point you know what point it’s getting across, and the ending is more flat than shocking, surprising or cathartic. A well-assembled film, but one that left me feeling nothing at all.
