    Though much of Naked Lunch is flip, hip and hilariously funny, it never wanders far from a profoundly melancholic undertone - Cronenberg's unshakable sense of loneliness, isolation and anxiety. [10 Jan 1992]

    Stretching himself with each new work, David Cronenberg has come up with a fascinating, demanding, mordantly funny picture.

    A surrealistic, frequently boring movie with an incomprehensible plot.
