A level-headed take on a topic that’s often an excuse for madness and melodrama. You’ll be engrossed and grossed-out, but may suspect there’s a ton of footage under quarantine until the Blu-ray.
Full reviewAction-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and the international team of doctors fighting the outbreak. Directed by Steven Soderberg (Traffic), with an all-star cast including Matt Damon and Kate Winslet.
As the epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community (Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard) races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus. The film also follows ordinary folk (Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow) struggling to survive amongst city quarantines and a society falling apart.

Full reviewContagion is serious, precise, frightening, emotionally enveloping. It’s a highly controlled film about an out-of-control event, a film so sure-handed and intelligent that it has an invigorating, even an enlightening, quality.
Full reviewWith simmering tension and some memorable acting performances by a stellar cast, Soderbergh's disease thriller is worth catching.
Full reviewA starkly effective ensemble drama which could well do for the sniffles what Jaws did for great whites.
Full reviewSoderbergh brings a cold-blooded approach to Contagion, and the chill generally serves the material well.
Full reviewContagion is available to stream in New Zealand now on Google Play and Apple TV and Academy On Demand and AroVision.
