In an interview, the actress said, "People like to talk about how difficult it is to watch his (director Cronenberg's) films. Many viewers walked out during the Cannes screening, making fun of it. It's true, Cronenberg presents his philosophy in a strange way in every film. It surprises me too. But it never creates hatred for his work."
However, the actress admitted that she was quite surprised by the audience's reaction during the screening of the film. Kristen compared the situation to the Will Smith slapping incident at this year's Oscars, "I was reminded of the Will Smith incident at that time. Is this true? Or is it not true?"
Although many viewers walked out, critics liked the film. 'Crime of the Future' received a seven-minute standing ovation at the end of the screening.
Kristen is currently busy promoting the film. The body horror film, which features dismembered human bodies, was released in the United States yesterday. Kristen plays an investigative surgeon. The film also stars Viggo Mortensen and French actress Lea Seydoux.
