Enemy Reviews

From the opening shot of Enemy, you are trained to expect something out of the ordinary.

| Original Score: A | Apr 17, 2015

Gyllenhaal faces the tricky task of conveying the subtle differences of two men whose identities are thrown into flux. The result is his most nuanced performance since playing another sleuth caught out of his depth in Zodiac.

| Jan 9, 2015

Enemy has morbid elegance to spare, which should guarantee it some long-term cult prestige.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2015

This could be Villeneuve's most accomplished film so far.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2015

The doppelgänger trope may sound well worn but Enemy finds fresh, deeply unnerving ground. And Jake Gyllenhaal gives two spellbinding performances.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2015

Lots of good stuff here, precious little of which has any lasting impact.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2015

A weird, intriguing tchotchke of a thriller ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2015

I can't get Enemy's peculiar, fevered mood, or the memory of that wackadoo last image, out of my head.

| May 9, 2014

Among all the movies out there about seeing double, this one feels genuinely singular.

| Apr 21, 2014

A spooky enigma, more ponderous than provocative, more silly than suspenseful.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 28, 2014

Despite some flaws and frustrations, this is one movie whose ending you will not see coming.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 27, 2014

Movies about doubles are, almost by definition, creepy, but Villeneuve, not to be outdone, piles on the weirdness.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 21, 2014

"Enemy" is what might happen if someone let Terrence Malick make a "Twilight Zone" episode, with a quick rewrite by David Cronenberg.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 20, 2014

Despite Gyllenhaal's twitchy, two-headed performance, "Enemy" is hobbled by a genetic flaw: Suspension of disbelief has a twin called suspicion of dumbness.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 20, 2014

Denis Villeneuve's moody, intriguing and, yes, occasionally silly psychological thriller.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 20, 2014

The story's dour flatness keeps it from being as disturbing as it aims to be.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 20, 2014

The wan, lifeless palette matches the film's overarching tone of drained, depressive enervation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 20, 2014

"Enemy" may be built more on questions than answers, but in the probing it generates a satisfyingly arch hum of weirdness.

| Mar 20, 2014

This is fitfully successful as a mood piece, though the dream imagery is heavy-handed, the characters sketchily realized, and the high-toned dialogue comes out stilted more often than not.

| Mar 20, 2014

Watching "Enemy," in which Gyllenhaal cleverly delineates the character differences and confidence levels of the two leading roles, it's clear that the movie is messing with you, in a highly calibrated fashion.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 20, 2014
