Rating: 4/5 -- Part psychological thriller, part science fiction, the power of The Double comes not just from its performances... but also its stark visuals. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- "The Double" has a theatrical, self-conscious quality to it; the performances feel stagy and its production design looks like a grimly monotone Wes Anderson movie.

Rating: 3/4 -- The Double invites second looks and close examination. As Simon finds when peering into mirrors, what we see is often unexpected. Full Review

In THE DOUBLE, Richard Ayoade’s energetically stylized adaptation of a Dostoyevsky novella, Jesse Eisenberg plays Simon James, a man so unassuming that he barely exists.

Rating: 3/4 -- The Double doesn't get very deep, but it does get interesting. Full Review

There's just one problem with a deliberately paced, artsy, mysterious film with little dialogue - you can appreciate it a great deal but still find yourself checking your watch. Full Review

British director Ayoade's second film is jam-packed with witty references, from cheesy sci-fi soap operas to the long-suffering men who populate the Coen brothers' films. Full Review

Product Description:

Richard Ayoade's stylized adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novella THE DOUBLE stars Jesse Eisenberg as Simon James, a meek office drone who bumbles his way through his day, forever pining for a pretty girl (Mia Wasikowska) who lives near him and working hard for a boss (Wallace Shawn) who doesn't see any of his accomplishments. One day Simon discovers that he has a new co-worker, James Simon (also Eisenberg), who looks just like him and possesses all of the confidence and charisma that Simon lacks. Simon befriends this new person, and soon the put-upon man is asserting himself. However, he begins to fear he's becoming just another pawn in James' relentless self-interests. THE DOUBLE screened at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
