	Author	Review
United Kingdom	David Gritten Telegraph	"Contagion can sometimes feel like a series of public health warnings. Still, it's a cut above most Hollywood thrillers (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"A realistic, unsensational film about a global epidemic (...) 'Contagion' deserves praise for taking the scientific method seriously (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The film is most riveting in its early scenes, (...) But after (...) starts spreading panic, all this germ procedural offers is the sight of people behaving badly (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"With simmering tension and some memorable acting performances by a stellar cast, Soderbergh's disease thriller is worth catching."	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Smart, spooky thriller (...) as ruthlessly effective as the malady at its cool, cool center."	POS
