Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: I cannot easily recommend these delights to everyone, but my high regard for Mr. Cronenberg's stylistic virtues remains largely undiminished.
Fresh: Eastern Promises is a subtle and precisely calibrated work of astonishing cumulative power.
Fresh: ...Eastern Promises is as honorable an entertainment as it is a humbling work of art.
Fresh: ...manages to blend the clashing of cultures, family resentment, ugly heritage and the unlikely promise of new life without going in circles.
