Late in David Cronenberg’s new thriller, The Shrouds, a character pours herself a bowl of cereal and then adds milk from a plastic bag. It’s a small, unimportant moment in a movie that traffics in big, scary ideas about life, death, and everything in between. But sitting in the audience for a screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, I felt seen.  I wasn’t alone…  Milk bags are as much a part of our Canadian heritage as subsidized health care and the Tragically Hip; not since Samuel L. Jackson flashed his Raptor bag in Jackie Brown has an on-screen prop generated so many appreciative murmurs of local pride inside a Toronto multiplex. Like 2022’s superb Crimes of the Future, The Shrouds serves as a reminder that, at 81 years old, Cronenberg is still one of the world’s great filmmakers: bold, uncompromising, clever, and fearless.  – The Ringer

“The Shrouds finds David Cronenberg giving his own personal and peculiar take on grief.” – Awards Radar
