The GuardianPeter BradshawMar 23, 2023
It’s a movie straining for more than it’s achieving, moment by moment, but Goth’s toxic energy always holds the attention. Read full review

Total FilmNeil SmithMar 20, 2023
There’s no questioning Skarsgård’s commitment to his character’s descent into depravity, while the gifted Goth is fearlessly uninhibited. But just because Infinity Pool looks good on the surface, that doesn’t mean it has hidden depths. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeJan 25, 2023
The “more is more” approach (hallucinations, orgies, pissing, stabbing, shooting, splitting, piercing etc) is attention-securing in the moment but oddly forgettable after, like waking up from a nightmare you can’t remember. Infinity Pool is too hectic to truly haunt. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreFeb 1, 2023
The shocks — drunken montages of murderous and carnal abandon, gooey, intertwined and ugly — are entirely the point. Whether they make sense, illuminate the human condition or “entertain” is almost immaterial. Read full review

Slant MagazineKeith WatsonJan 26, 2023
If David Cronenberg seems almost indifferent to his audience, Brendon Cronenberg is so fixated on freaking people out that he can sometimes neglect to do much else. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenJan 26, 2023
Even if this is a film that does not always make perfect sense, Infinity Pool is a film that does not shrink from its transgressions. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyJan 26, 2023
Cronenberg’s new film is less formally inventive and icy than Possessor, more narratively straightforward if no less disturbingly weird and grisly. But the go-for-broke extremity lacks the substance to make it more than an aggressive but shallow provocation. Read full review

Vanity FairEsther ZuckermanJan 22, 2023
The nightmare that unfolds is certainly effective. At the same time, there's an emptiness at the movie's core. Read full review

IndieWireRyan LattanzioJan 22, 2023
Stars Alexander Skarsgärd and Mia Goth deliver terrifically unhinged performances as a failing novelist and a mysterious tour guide, and Cronenberg has absolutely no shortage of original ideas, but the whole thing feels bloodless, cold and clammy as a speculum. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiJan 25, 2023
It’s meant to shock and disgust — and it does — but while Infinity Pool starts off interestingly enough, its take on power, corruption, and privilege only goes so far. Read full review
