R T @RT85036804 Aug 29, 2026 When talking about a director who can do whatever the hell he wants—and still manage to deliver authentic, profound, and fantastic works, even when it’s a commissioned project—David Cronenberg is the man. Here, he completely abandons body horror and the classic stylistic hallmarks that made him instantly recognizable, immersing himself instead in a totally different genre: psychological, dramatic, dark, and raw. The story is simply heartbreaking and masterfully told, featuring breathtaking performances, grand production design, and cinematography that is both somber and deep. It is a very slow-paced film and not one to be watched lightly; it is a movie that looks right back into your soul and leaves you changed. Highly recommended.

The highlight is Ralph Fiennes who expresses much with few words. See more Sinisa P @RT26085034 Jun 1, 2024 Powerful and tragic story, kept me processing it for days after I watched the movie. Pity that intro on RT is a spoiler. See more David W @RT91245001 Nov 15, 2023 While difficult to follow at first and leaving the audience with too many unanswered questions for my liking, Spider does offer interesting and compelling filmmaking with the audience piecing together the story alongside the protagonist. However, the opacity is too much for my taste. I would only watch this again if there were nothing better to choose from.
