Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The film plays mostly as an uneasily satirical thriller.

rotten:
An awkward blend of anti-Semitic atrocities and identity-swapping absurdity, the World War II drama "My Best Enemy" struggles to find a convincing tone.

fresh:
The script relies on too many unlikely twists, but Bleibtreu manages to sell them all.

rotten:
A movie largely devoid of attitude or suspense.

rotten:
My Best Enemy bleeds suspense like a pin-pricked tire. It wants to be clever, but survivor tales bring with them too much muck.
