Purely Joyful Movie!

Pretty Good

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

I am typically not the one to stay away from challenging cinema that requires certain critical thinking, but this title just does not work. At least not in the movie form. I have not read the book and perhaps it makes more sense as a literature piece, but the movie leaves just waaaaay too much open to interpretation. Like I said, interpreting some stuff could be fun, but in this case it almost feels like there is nothing to base it on to begin with. The redeeming quality of the movie is the presentation itself. Very dark and atmospheric with perfect kind soundtrack. Has a very similar feel to The Machinist (another great movie of this kind, btw).

'Enemy' is a(nother) good example of pretentious twats left alone with generous financing for fledgling film outfits such as Canada's. It's cool, OK? Those within this review thread crying 'Lynch', for example. I'm cool... I called Lynch. B.S Not sure what's worse: Funding for rubbish such as this film, or the actual film.

Pointless, silly and the meaning of which is difficult, if not impossible to comprehend.

This enigmatic and ominous art-house thriller is nothing short of an experience. 'Enemy (2013)' is an incredibly nuanced and involving mystery that requires work to unravel but rewards your attention (and analysis) with a multitude of meanings and a plethora possible interpretations each as valid as the last, building to become quite the conundrum of a film considering it can be two (almost) entirely different events depending on whether or not you've seen it before and whether or not you're willing to take things on more than just their face value - which, incidentally, also work wonderfully well even without the, arguably, intended 'double meaning' applied. Regardless of your interpretation, the amount of allegory and intrigue is astonishing and the fact that it gets so under your skin is nothing short of admirable, as is its ability to stay there and make you contemplate it for literal days on end. The in-the-moment vibe of the piece is top-notch, too, so that, even if you don't understand everything (or, perhaps, anything), you'll feel every single strangely disturbing yet staggeringly beautiful moment. 8/10
