Featured review
One dark and eerie thriller....
This is one dark disturbing movie. It isn't a horror but will leave you feeling a bit uncomfortable. We have here a man who discovers that he has a doppelgänger, and decides to hunt the guy down to meet him. It all turns dark when they get involved with other's partners, and we have a dark movie which utilises sex heavily.
This is a very well done film. The acting is great, with Jake Gylennhaal competently driving the dark edges of the lead characters, who are all but identical except by the smallest margins in the mind. The directors doesn't shove anything, and allows a slow pace so as to not force anything.
The camera work is great, but it's the story that is the main crux. It doesn't give you any answers, and you can make out the parallels or analogies as you wish. There is a repeat use of a spider as a motif in the story somehow, but what it represents is never made clear.
Problem is that, it's so uninviting a film, and the characters mostly all unlikeable, that you can't help but feel distanced by this film. Its slow pace can be too slow, and hinders the films. It's more a film to think about and take away the points with you. You'll theorise various things about it.
It's not a bad film, but won't be for everyone. It's not easy to like and has a dark heart. Make of it what you will.
