The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

10%

Examples:

  • Caitlin Cronenberg's belief in her integrity leads her to wanting to volunteer for the program.
  • The lack of action kills some tension, and it's almost impossible to root for any of the characters.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • The ensemble is relegated to a single manor where patriarch, Charles York (Peter Gallager) informs his children, Jared (Baruchel), Rachel (Hampshire), Noah (Sebastian Chacon), and Ashley (Alanna Bale) that he and his wife have decided to 'enlist.' In this slightly spun version of our world, to enlist is to volunteer to be euthanized in exchange for government money paid out to family members.

Contradictions

50%

Examples:

  • Humane is Caitlin Cronenberg's first feature film, making her the latest member of the Canadian horror-focused Cronenberg family.
  • The world is experiencing widespread ecological collapse and every country has committed to reducing its population by 20% within one year.

Deceptions

80%

Examples:

  • It's not a secret I'm a fan of the Canadian clan of horror masters, the Cronenberg's.
  • What's difficult about this deception is that the lack of action kills some tension, and it's almost impossible to root for any of the characters.
