The film’s well acted, stylish, well written, well directed, well characterised & is an original horror film that’s also A culty film. (85%) (4/5 stars) (positive)
This has basically the same premise as Żuławski's Possession, what a divorce feels like for the affected parties. Although Żuławski referenced Scenes from a Marriage
To be fair, he and Ebert are quite alike. If you look at Kermode original review of Blue Velvet, you get a textbook example mistaking the disgust he felt with the overall quality of the film. It's just that Kermode is a younger critic of a more genre-aware generation than Ebert was.
ebert's review for the brood pointed out once and for all how shallow and hysterical and generally invalid he was as a reviewer. his reputation as a "cool" critic with a good average for liking movies isn't just beyond me, it's a lie. and his inability to be objective was pathetic.
This and CRASH are cronenberg's underrated masterpieces.

I was thinking of Possession immediately, especially with the child abuse stuff early on in the film
Criterion's releases of Cronenberg look like they've been flattened by someone with a disdain for light.
Reliable Roger Ebert? Oh, Mr Kermode, you are always so polite.

Ebert was a great critic, but he had an enormous blind spot when it came to the horror genre.
@@thatllputmarzipaninyourpie3117 Daily reminder: Ebert wrote the script for Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
I feel like every major critic is hated by people just because they disliked a few movies that said person liked ha ha
Terrific film. I love Oliver Reed as the psychiatrist.
My favourite Cronenberg. Creepy & disturbing.
I think Im the only person who finds this movie funny lol
It's darkly funny.
i think it’s complete amateurish shit
I can only imagine how bad the divorce would have been that he came up with this movie.
