Manuela Lazic Little White Lies A genre film taking a woman to the extremes of sanity while always honouring her emotions, L'Amant Double is a bold and often disturbing spectacle. Rated: 4/5 Jul 4, 2018 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Were L'Amant Double the work of any other film-maker - one without the credible female-oriented pictures 8 Women and Swimming Pool on his CV - it would make for unimaginatively troubling viewing. Rated: 3/5 Jun 8, 2018 Full Review Alex Godfrey Empire Magazine Saucy and silly, L'Amant Double is a disappointingly superficial romp, with interesting psychological potential squandered by B-movie levels of nonsense. Identity crises all round. Rated: 2/5 Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting Double Lover is a stylish, wild, and sexy ride, but it’s not meant to be taken seriously. If Hitchcock’s highbrow thrillers and Lyne’s salacious domestic dramas had a contemporary Erotic Thriller baby, it might look something like this. Rated: 4/5 Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants Twice as much everything. It's Hitchcock told not just by Brain DePalma but also by David Cronenberg. Why wear one heart on your sleeves when you can wear two, and why wear any hearts if they aren't deformed ones with the wrong number of ventricles? Jan 10, 2022 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine The climactic scenes will provoke you into either peals of laughter or apoplectic rage. It is hard to imagine there could be a middle response between the two. Rated: 2/10 Sep 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel G A brainy French movie that took a while to get more exciting and then seemed to end sort of suddenly with some questions in the air. It seems the theme could be defined as the psychological effects of having or not an unborn twin. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Alain E Visually exquisite and well acted grasps the attention of a viewer who seeks a not mainstream movie. The ending is kind of a let down but until then it is very enjoyable. Available on Tubi, so if it is not your cup of tea, try something else. The main character is played by Marine Vacth, a very beautiful actress who succeeded Kate Moss as the face for Yves Saint Laurent perfumes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Dani G This is the weirdest movie I've seen from Francois Ozon Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Poor editing, lack of continuity, and a barrage of clichés dampen what is already a yawnfest of a film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Ken R Yet another shoddy French movie with perverse sex scenes strung together in the hope the audience won't notice the lack of writing or so-called story. If the easily (or perversely) pleased can find anything to like or respect about this low trash, then they can also be regarded as in the same class as this French dud. Another for SBS' growing stockpile of smutty foreign movies to add to their junk heap - that only they could justify putting to air. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/20 Full Review dave d The French film 'Double Lover' is an erotic thriller from the complex mind of François Ozon, who wrote and directed. I loved this movie until I didn't, but other than the last five minutes it's entirely worth your time and who knows perhaps the ending will work for you! It's a film fascinated with twins and it's shot exquisitely and keeps you thinking during the entire runtime. It's most certainly a film you know you're either going to be into or out the door within about twenty minutes. It's not for everyone. And that ending, sheesh. Final Score: 7.6/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
