David Cronenberg's latest sci-fi film, 'The Shrouds,' is drawing mixed reactions. The film centers on characters Karsh, Myrna, and Maury, who engage in extensive dialogue about shrouds, advanced technology, and elaborate conspiracy theories. According to reviewer Simon Ings, the movie is heavy on grief and death, but light on actual plot development. The film seems to prioritize philosophical discussions over narrative action, potentially leaving viewers feeling underwhelmed by the lack of significant events.
