“Crimes of the Future is a futuristically retro slice of body horror that left me speechless. It is a twisted descent into madness, refusing to coddle its audience or offer up a single happy ending. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.” – Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak.com
“Funny, serious, and sexy all at once.” – Sophie Monks Kaufman, Hyperallergic
“Crimes of the Future is a load of crap. I would like to find a more civil way to describe even a sick and depraved barf bag of a movie like this one, but it defeats every reasonable attempt to try.” – Rex Reed, The Observer
