Enemy is one of Denis Villeneuve's best films before he left to shoot AAA blockbusters. Psychological thriller with elements of surrealism. In general, the idea with doubles in movies is not new, but the way it is shown in Enemy looks realistic. Also, the doubles are completely opposite to each other psychologically. Jake Gyllenhaal perfectly plays both characters, he manages to make the viewer believe that these are completely different people. The film is clearly not for a wide audience, very slow melancholic pace of narration. In general, Enemy reminded me of an earlier work of Villeneuve - Maelstrom. They cause the same feelings after watching. Although Enemy is a more dynamic film.

Time Lapse is a budget camera film on a hackneyed theme. But Time Lapse is not a movie about time travel. First of all, it is primarily a very chamber film with 5 actors. The emphasis here is on dialogues and acting. And surprisingly, the actors coped with their task, but just shot but with taste. Secondly, there is an unusual approach to time travel. Rather, there is a story about a car that predicts the future. And this is also not badly inscribed in the plot. Given that the film was clearly shot for a small amount, the end result is not bad. But this is clearly not a movie for everyone. If you like camera movies - it's a good movie, if not, then most likely turn it off in 15 minutes.

The Thaw is a typical low-budget thriller of the late 2000s. You shouldn't expect something like The Thing from 1982 from The Thaw. Everything is much simpler and cheaper here. But is it that bad? Suspense is, and it holds for most of the film. The cast is not surprising, but it is clear that the actors are trying. And you believe them in general. The picture is simple, but it is even more of a plus in such a budget. The plot is predictable, plot twists are read at the beginning of the film. The Thaw will not surprise the viewer with this, well, unless you have never seen such films. The Thaw needs to be watched without waiting to see an AAA movie. This is a movie for one viewing, looked and forgot.
