Contagion

"A level-headed take on a topic that’s often an excuse for madness and melodrama. You’ll be engrossed and grossed-out, but may suspect there’s a ton of footage under quarantine until the Blu-ray."

"Contagion is serious, precise, frightening, emotionally enveloping. It’s a highly controlled film about an out-of-control event, a film so sure-handed and intelligent that it has an invigorating, even an enlightening, quality."

"This is slick, watchable stuff performed by an all-star ensemble."

"Soderbergh shapes this story with muscular confidence."

"With simmering tension and some memorable acting performances by a stellar cast, Soderbergh's disease thriller is worth catching."

"A starkly effective ensemble drama which could well do for the sniffles what Jaws did for great whites."

"Soderbergh brings a cold-blooded approach to Contagion, and the chill generally serves the material well."
