Critics Consensus

Ruminating on the love within loss, The Shrouds is a personal and peculiar examination of grief by director David Cronenberg.

It isn’t necessarily about the horrors of the decaying body, but of the horror of its no longer being there – which means that above all, Cronenberg has made a love story.

It’s morbid, fetishistic and unsettling. But compared to the full-blooded nastiness of his enthusiastically lurid earlier works, The Shrouds, with its glum, moss-coloured photography, feels inert, woolly and ultimately rather tedious.

While this circumstance might disappoint those hoping for a work with a greater immediate impact, it is clear proof that the author's intellectual level remains intact at 82 years of age. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

As to whether or not you feel satisfied at the close of the film – well, much like burial rites, that’s a matter of personal taste.

In the body, Cronenberg finds not horror but a kind of beauty and resilience, even as it becomes a battleground for medicine and technology.

7/10

Even if it doesn’t all add up in the end, The Shrouds is still an occasionally heady meditation on how we deal with mortality.
