Critics' reviews

"A realistic, unsensational film about a global epidemic (...) 'Contagion' deserves praise for taking the scientific method seriously (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"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)"

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

Todd McCarthy: Variety
"Smart, spooky thriller (...) as ruthlessly effective as the malady at its cool, cool center."

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"Contagion can sometimes feel like a series of public health warnings. Still, it's a cut above most Hollywood thrillers (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
