Infinity Pool is a 2023 science fiction horror film written and directed by Brandon Cronenberg, and starring Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman.

Novelist James Foster and his wife Em spend time at a resort in the fictional seaside country of Li Tolqa,[3] where a local festival is underway.

The couple's chronic marital strife is exacerbated when Gabi, a fan of the only novel James has published, invites them to spend time with her and her husband Alban.

However, the country has a unique system of justice reserved for foreign nationals due to diplomatic agreement, whereby the guilty, for a hefty fee, can be cloned and have their duplicates killed in their place.

While Em is horrified by the entire affair and wants to leave immediately, James is titillated by the spectacle and doesn't share her urgency.

In a moment of clarity and panic, James retrieves the passport he had hidden in order to stay in Li Tolqa and attempts to flee.

Once he has regained his strength, he is again confronted by Gabi's group, who order him to kill a leashed duplicate of himself they refer to as "the dog" to complete his transformation into a murdering tourist.

Gabi consoles James by exposing her bare breast, covering it with the warm blood of "the dog" and inviting him to simulate breastfeeding.

The next day, as they head back to the United States, the other tourists casually chat about upcoming errands, while James is visibly traumatized.

[9] By the time filming had started, additional casting announcements included Mia Goth, Thomas Kretschmann, Amanda Brugel, Caroline Boulton, John Ralston, Jeff Ricketts, Jalil Lespert and Roderick Hill.

The site's critical consensus reads, "Turbulent waters even for strong swimmers, Infinity Pool provides a visceral all-inclusive retreat of Cronenbergian perversion for those wanting to escape commercial sundries.

[28] The film is a New York Times Critic's Pick, with Jeannette Catsoulis writing, "Surreal, sophisticated, and sometimes sickening, Infinity Pool suggests that while the elder Cronenberg might be fixated on the disintegration of our bodies, his son is more concerned with the destruction of our souls.

"[29] Esther Zuckerman of Vanity Fair commended the cast performances (particularly Goth's), but was overall mixed on the film, asserting that it is "provocative with questionable payoff".

[30] Comparing the film to Possessor in a positive Los Angeles Times review, Katie Walsh wrote that Infinity Pool "is larger in scope than its predecessor, the narrative grander, sharper, funnier and more wickedly perverse.

"[32] In a negative review, Michael O'Sullivan from The Washington Post claimed that the movie has an "eye-roll-inducing plot" and that Cronenberg has inherited some of his father's worst excesses: sophomoric, fetishistic violence and gratuitous sexualization.
