eXistenZ Ratings & Reviews
The New York Review of Books
J. Hoberman
It's striking that eXistenZ, a send-up of computer games that parodied The Matrix avant la lettre, and one of the great underappreciated movies of the late 1990s, yields the richest trove of relics.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Cronenberg wraps the tale in layers of mystery, never allowing the audience to confidentially comprehend precisely what is happening.
WBUR’s Arts & Culture
Sean Burns
This is a David Cronenberg movie, so everything looks vaguely like a vagina.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
It's a disturbing, disorienting sensation -- puzzles within puzzles, games within games -- that continues right up to the last shot.
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
Experienced gamers should find much to savor through the films unique assessments on the nature of reality.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
[Cronenberg is] a laughing existentialist here, a philosopher who sees the comedy in disorientation.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
I just don't happen to like puzzle films of any kind, but I must credit Mr. Cronenberg with more intellectual depth than most of his fellow pessimistic movie pranksters.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
It's good art direction in search of an idea.
Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
Judith Egerton
Brave moviegoers and fans of writer-director David Cronenberg will find funny dialogue and grotesquely engrossing scenes in his latest sci-fi horror tale.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Jennifer Jason Leigh is an ideal Cronenberg heroine, projecting a personality that is smart, wary and capable of obsessiveness.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Matrix is mainstream sci-fi, but eXistenZ, written by Cronenberg, is much stranger; it creates a world where organic and inorganic are not separate states, but kind of chummy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
This darkly sexual sci-fi horror variant by Cronenberg makes The Matrix look like child's play.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Leigh has not turned in a performance as mischievous and alluring in quite some time.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
At last, with his ecstatic, spellbinding, madly original eXistenZ, Cronenberg suppresses his yen for being a mere provocateur and makes an inspired, ingenious film that wants to be more than the stuff bad dreams are made of.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
[It's] meant to have a whiff of the philosophical, even if its intellectual ambition seems mostly limited to spelling affectations.
Salon.com
Craig Seligman
It's a pleasure to find the brooding Cronenberg turning out a trifle, even if it's a dark trifle.
