I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Forced to watch this. I have it sixteen minutes and wanted out but wife and daughter insisted we carry on.Awful sepia colour scheme, nonsensical spiders, un realistic conversations, slow boring camera shots, dull dull dull.
Pointless, silly and the meaning of which is difficult, if not impossible to comprehend.
Pointless, boring and plainly a waste of time. As the other reviewer said, I watch movies to be entertained from start to finish and not to end up with a headache trying to figure out what was going on. Jake's acting was undeniably superb but that did not help me to appreciate the whole movie perse.
'Enemy' is tense psychological thriller. Jake Gyllenhaal gives powerful performance as a neurotic school teacher who, after getting a recommendation from a colleague, watches a movie and notices that one of the bit players looks exactly like him. He decides to look for the actor to meet the guy. Then Gyllenhaal gives another powerful performance as a narcissistic film actor. Yes - doppelganger - how original. But wait, 'Enemy' is kind of film that needs to be watched twice (at least), and many scenes or elements that seem random at first time, are very cleverly all tied together and by the end it all makes sense. Smart writing by Javier Gullon and stylish directing by Denis Villeneuve makes 'Enemy' a film watching experience.
