Critics Consensus

Thanks to a strong performance from Jake Gyllenhaal and smart direction from Denis Villeneuve, Enemy hits the mark as a tense, uncommonly adventurous thriller.

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

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.

3/5

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

6/10

Assessed on a level of tone and aesthetic, Villeneuve’s film is a stunning work. It is oppressive and unsettling, achieving Lynchian levels of discomfort and uncertainty.

Enemy is brimming with non-commercial bravado that borders on being confessional. Just as Hitchcock made manifest his voyeuristic and controlling proclivities, Villeneuve exposes his own conflicted feelings towards women and monogamy.

A much worse version of the film Primer which was actually pretty decent.

Possibly one of the worst movies I’ve seen. It’s worse than a campy movie….at least those don’t try to take themselves seriously. This is the kind of movie you start watching and hope it gets better, but it never does. The credits start rolling and you’re left wondering what the hell you just watched. Then you realize you’ve just wasted 90 minutes of your life. Maybe one of Jake’s relatives needed a kidney?

I understand what this movie was going for but just kinda fell flat. Jake was great as usual just nothing I would not him for.

My friend suggested this movie because he knows I like psychological thrillers but this moving was frustrating. Some of the choices made no sense whatsoever. I felt that the drama was forced and there were too many plot holes that made some of the scenes unbelievable. It was trying to be an amalgam of Eyes Wide Shut and Mulholland Drive.
