The rapid dialogue is dry and mannered, like a David Mamet play, there's virtually no story and Cronenberg's visual scheme is cold and claustrophobic.

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten

It feels like each and every moment bursts forth with urgent dialogue, and yet what does anyone actually say?

Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
Rotten

There's not really a movie there, nothing that sustains itself from scene to scene and nothing that's worth watching from beginning to end.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

The film is all too faithful to its un-cinematic source.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Rotten

"Cosmopolis," because of its allegiance to the book's mannered, offbeat language, feels like it never wakes up.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
