Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: Enemy è cinema d’autore: lascia a lungo inquieti o del tutto indifferenti. Prendere o lasciare…
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: “Enemy” presents a real puzzle. In fact, it’s so elegantly done at times that you don’t even realize you’re in a puzzle
- Glenn Dunks @ Glenn Dunks, Writing
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Denis Villeneuve’s drama is a confusingly twisty but oh-so-stylish mystery à la David Lynch. The brew is a head trip of a cocktail that goes down deliciously smooth but will no doubt disorient you for days afterwards.
- Travis Hopson @ Punch Drunk Critics
- Excerpt: The sinister and devious Enemy is an epic mind-screw that crawls around in the dark corners of the psyche like a spider in a dusty attic.
- Blake Howard @ Graffiti With Punctuation
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: From start to finish, “Enemy” unsettles and then nestles in the mind like a spider laying an egg. Cinephiles are sure to be wowed, and for those willing to take the extra mile in a movie theater, it will challenge like any addictive puzzle box.
- Daniel Lackey @ The Nightmare Gallery
- Excerpt: One hell of a cinematic puzzle, offering much viewers who like combing a movie for clues to what’s actually going on. On the other hand, I found I didn’t care much about the characters or the story.
- Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer
- Excerpt: Denis Villeneuve’s enigmatic mind-bender rewards repeat viewings.
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- João Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: É bastante negro e psicológico, não sendo um filme para todos os gostos, mas ainda assim corresponde a um delicioso visionamento
- Jamie S. Rich @ DVD Talk
- Excerpt: …an otherwise slow-to-start, scattered effort…Enemy is best when working the more psychological angles of the story.
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: It’s not a film for everyone, but it is there for those up to the intellectual challenge and for those not afraid of exiting a film without possessing a clear understanding of it.
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Villeneuve shows an ability to evoke a panicky existential dread that rivals David Lynch and fellow Canadian David Cronenberg, while “Enemy”‘s concern with the frailty of identity places it somewhere on the venerable “Persona” spectrum.
- Josh Spiegel @ Sound on Sight
- Jean-François Vandeuren @ Panorama-cinema.com [French]
- Andrew Wyatt @ Gateway Cinephile
- Excerpt: Enemy is remarkably coy about what sort of story it is spinning. The film has the motifs and rhythms of a thriller, certainly, but its essential nature is fiendishly ambiguous.
