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.

The symbolism in the movie is excellent. You can’t go into this movie thinking you’re getting a story. The whole thing is symbolic, but tastefully done.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Enemy is a painstakingly made movie by Villeneuve, from the visuals to story. A simple story with layered symbolism and meaning that questions the viewer at each watch.

I know this movie is full of symbolism, but i find it weird when they play mysterious music when nothing much happening. It feels like if I rewatched it then I’ll get it why. The ending is really abrupt and need to see others review to know what it means. I mean it’s not like mind bending movies, really slow. The ending is abrupt and I feel like not watching anything much for 1.5 hours
