Kristen Stewart’s performance in Crimes of the Future is such a fascinating enigma. She at once taps into the habits that critics of her early work (wrongfully) considered detractors and creates a character that is at once seductive, slimy, and unpredictable.

Just watched Crimes of The Future. Reminds me of ‘80s Cronenberg. It’s that signature style of storytelling meeting a brand new perspective on body and flesh. Absolutely enjoyed it. Kristen Stewart’s acting is stunning.

Kristen Stewart is revelatory. Playing up every weirdo, breathy tic detractors used to make fun of her for, she weaponizes them into a truly bizarre, very funny performance. Vibrating on the edges of each frame, brimming with tears of joyous lust. It’s fucking NUTS. pic.twitter.com/Iv4SbKoLY8

Everyone in "Crimes of the Future" gives go-for-broke performances, but especially Kristen Stewart. I'm not really sure what's going on with her mousy but lusty government bureaucrat with a whispery voice, but I am all in with her on it!!!!
