Enemy
Overview
A mild-mannered college professor discovers a look-alike actor and delves into the other man's private affairs.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A spooky enigma, more ponderous than provocative, more silly than suspenseful.
Despite some flaws and frustrations, this is one movie whose ending you will not see coming.
Enemy is a bewilderingly skillful metaphysical thriller combining Swiss-watch engineering and surrealism, like one of Dali's melted timepieces.
Movies about doubles are, almost by definition, creepy, but Villeneuve, not to be outdone, piles on the weirdness.
