The chilling story of identical twin gynecologists, suave Elliot and sensitive Beverly, bipolar sides of one personality, who share the same practice, the same apartment, the same women. When a new patient, glamorous actress Claire Niveau, challenges their eerie bond, they descend into a whirlpool of sexual confusion, drugs, and madness. Jeremy Irons' tour-de-force performance (as both twins) raises disturbing questions about the nature of personal identity. (Criterion Collection)

Creepy and atmospheric. It's almost impossible to tell the difference between the twins as the movie progresses, Jeremy Irons gives a truly wonderful duel-performance here.

I've never been at a movie before where everyone in the audience, both male and female, crossed their legs at the exact same moment, minus the time I watched a drag queen hosted presentation of Basic Instinct. The less said about that the better.

Queasy, unsettling psychodrama is fatally lacking true insight into "The Mantle Twins" instead being content to shove its audience's collective face into an escalatingly perverse and ugly, self-destructive situation, further compunded by a cold and antiseptic approach which dulls what I assume is odd stabs at dark comedy. Counterbalancing this is Irons' magnificent, career-best performance as both men - he makes the film worth seeing, and indeed involving, for the most part.

As much as I appreciate the methodical pacing and the career-pinnacle performance from Jeremy Irons, the film doesn't do enough at late turning points to convince us that this is the most believable direction it could go. While I still liked the quiet ending, the film definitely should've worked harder to make it satisfying rather than just neat.

It's not much of a horror film, more of a drama that's kind of fucked up. Irons is truly incredible in this, even in isolation either of his performances would be worthy of praise and admiration, especially as Beverly. Dead Ringers surprisingly ends up being one of the most striking/affecting portrayals of addiction you're likely to see.

Plays as grotesque High Art - like Eakins' paintings of autopsy classes. Or if Bertolucci directed a snuff film. Importantly, it shows that behind Cronenberg's typical anxiety over the body and its functions lies a deep-seeded moral ambivalence and psychological malaise: in a very literal way, it gets under your skin, because it's attracted to the evil that has been festering there, in us, all along. The last shot is one of cinema's greatest.

Dead Ringers is definitely disturbing, and endlessly interesting to ponder and discuss, but it's not an easy watch by any means. There are more than a few moments that will make you uncomfortable to the point of leaning away from the screen, as if to distance yourself from the events occurring. Irons is truly excellent in the double roles, and the movie's descent into psychosis is really gripping.

Yes, Jeremy Irons puts on a performance (two performances?) worthy of a trifurcated uterus...but that didn't help alleviate the boredom felt while I waited and waited for some Cronenberg-esque vagina-themed creature to pop out of the walls. The imagery is simply too straightforward (obvious comparisons to the Siamese twins) to provoke any other thoughts than 'hey, these guys are like Siamese twins.'

Women aren't treated too kindly in this film, but I don't believe Cronenberg is a misogynist. To be fair, the male twins both brilliantly portrayed by Jeremy Irons are rather repulsive man-creatures, and I tend to think this film is simply a dissection of sexuality and identity (or lack thereof), probing a bit of grotesque humanity. It is also one of Cronenberg's best-looking films, with lots of vibrant red and blue hues. It feels as cold and viscerally incisive as a surgeon's instruments.

Tonally similar to Crash in its very moody, clinical, and more humorless approach as far as Cronenberg movies are concerned. Stylistically it is absolutely masterful, with typically flawless direction and Irons is absolutely ridiculous, perhaps being only slightly overshadowed by himself. It's a thoroughly inspiring suspense/horror but I found it too dementedly heavy-handed to rank it with my favorite Cronenberg films.

Jesus Christ. Shit. What the fuck. This film's descent is so gradual, and eventually so extreme, that it requires some effort to process, or even to stomach, these appalling and terrible exhibitions. The brutalist architecture and mise-en-scene is off-putting, alien, revolting: a perfect habitat for this pair of co-dependent sociopaths. Jeremy Irons deserves every ounce of praise he's received for this performance (these performances).

The more David Cronenberg films I watch, the more I realise he's more miss than hit. For me, anyway. I didn't like this film. I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad film, but there wasn't really much I thought was good about it. Jeremy Irons was definitely the best part of it, playing twins effortlessly. Unfortunately, I didn't find watching either of the character compelling at all. Cronenberg can be good, but I didn't think it showed here.

You haven't lived until you've watched this with your friend who happens to be a twin. The unsettling tone is taken to a whole new level. It's ultimately a very effective exercise in mood; love is the primary drive of everything the Mantle twins do, but they express it in such twisted fashion like it's the only way that they can. The best part is that its meaning remains ambiguous in a way that welcomes exploration. The gynecological tools are a triumph of prop design.

"Dead Ringers" is an oddity -it relies on an admittedly intriguing gimmick and it manages to be weirdly compelling if relatively uninvolving. Irons is exceptional in a dual role and Cronenberg's direction is sharp, but those advantages don't fully secure the film's impact on an emotional as well as intellectual level. Sure, it's an interesting ride and occasionally a pretty funny one and the ending is as enigmatic as it's beautifully made. But it may just be weird for the sake of weird anyway.

Dead Ringers is a fantastic film. What's it about? Twin gynecologists who swap places with one another in order to have sex with their patients, all while becoming addicted to any number of drugs and inventing tools for their practice that would be considered torture if they were ever used. If that doesn't turn you off the film, you'll probably appreciate it. It has things to say, it's unsettling, creepy, and genuinely creepy, and there's an undercurrent of black humor swimming underneath.

Problem #1: it doesn't feel like horror w/ drama elements, but vice versa - esp sluggish 1st hour #2: Presumably Cronenberg wants us to not always be able to tell the twins apart, but it's just annoying bc we'll eventually find out in a few minutes #3: the ways Cronenberg illustrates that the twins can't truly separate from one another is absurd in this otherwise realistic context especially when the usually in-control Elliot seemingly chooses to spiral out of control simply b/c his brother has.

I wasn't unsettled, and it wasn't what I consider psychological horror, so it hit lower than what I had expected. There are better executions on the theme of addiction and of descent into madness, and better reflections on body and identity than that.

Stylistically, it is a lot more restrained than Cronenberg's other films (though of course, we have to have a wacky dream sequence or two). Twins or doppelgangers always fascinates me in film (especially if they are played by the same actor) and Irons really succeeded in his dual-performance. As you'd expect from Cronenberg, he is absolutely fearless when dealing with the human body in his films, but here, the mutilation is far less superficial.

A strange Cronenberg film that examines a lot of topics surrounding identity. The primary force in the movie is Jeremy Irons, who plays both twins to perfection, making each of them unique characters. Cronenberg's distinctive style works perfectly in making these characters simultaneously human and disturbing.

It's a movie that leaves you very much thinking "What. The. Fuck." at the end of it. Very well done, and a marvelous job by Jeremy Irons in acting both roles, but the story itself is so twisted that it's a hard movie to swallow. By the second or third time through, once you've sorted out what happens, the movie becomes amazing-but it takes stomaching it two or three times to get there.

Fascinating. Partly about dependency on drugs perhaps, or dependency on a facade to get through life, but mostly about codependency. The relationship between Elliot and Bev is portrayed impeccably by Jeremy Irons in both roles. It really is a masterful performance, and watching the two share the screen is endlessly entrancing. It's a subtle brand of horror, but definitely horror, disturbing and emotionally involving at the same time to spine-chilling effect.

Perhaps Cronenberg's best looking film, alternating between blu tinted and warmer looking colors, reflecting the twin's state of mind in particular scenes. This is a real tragedy and an exploration of identity or lack thereof, superbly acted by Irons, who adds small nuances to the two characters without making them too different from each other. Might just be my favorite Cronenberg.

Calmly paced, stoic descent into another Cronenberg creation. Irons splits himself in two & where one goes the other must follow. Poetic touch having their careers and perhaps obsession "We always intended to move into research" revolve around the place the twins first met. Introduce a new uterus, a mutant one. This begins the slow separation process aided by a damning cocktail of medical sedatives, jealousy & professional collapse.

I went into this movie expecting to love it, as I'm a Cronenberg fan. I'm not sure what I think, having finished it. There are moments of sheer brilliance (gynecological instruments for operating on mutant women). There is a long, slow train-crash of an ending. It has a beautiful madness to it. It wins points on delivering an unnerving tone. It loses points for being really slow and muddy.

Trebles all round! Cronenberg makes me feel sympathetic, sad, almost melancholic at times watching the deterioration of Iron's character(s?) but also disgusted, shocked, scared, and creeped out. The bodyhorror here is toned down, an indication of things to come later in Cronenberg's career as he starts playing around with the psychology of the characters and the audience in a much more subtle manner. The cool blue and grey tones of the film go well with the blending of real and surreal.

It's like an alternate universe where Michael Ignatieff is just as narcissistic as normal, but now has a twin brother, a career in gynocology instead of politics, and some psychopathic tendencies.

Amazingly (and loosely) based on the Marcus twins. More info can be found in The Professor and the Prostitute, by Linda Wolfe.

Just remembered this film, only knew the Danish title. It's amazaing, one of Jeremy Irons' best in my opinion.

Like most Cronenberg films, I am not sure how much I actually enjoy them. They are usually intelligent -- quite cerebral and brooding -- and they make me think. But they are also obsessed with cold, unpleasant things. "Dead Ringers" is no different. But it's one of his best, with a performance by Jeremy Irons that is tremendous. The scene toward the end ... if you have seen it, you know what I mean. That's one affecting scene if you get me.

In a way, this wondrous story of brotherhood is also another powerful statement on human body by Cronenberg. They are not only obsessed with the women trey treat -- Bev is sentimental, has feelings for a patient but also thinks there are full of mutant vaginas out there; Elly is icy, clinical, the man that makes speeches --, but with their own bodies, their condition of identical (but separated) persons, that were born, live -- and will eventually die together.

Disturbing psychological thriller, with Irons unforgettably effective in the lead roles -- it *really* does seem like two actors in the parts! One of Cronenberg's creepiest films, but without the usual gross effects he's famous for, this once again proves him a genre director of real force and power, maybe the most original since Hitchcock.

Creepy and virtuosic performance(s) by Irons are the best reason to watch it.

An unsettling atmosphere throughout, and the slow downward spiral of the two Ironses has some fascinatingly disturbing moments, but the peaks are few and far between. Still, it's so incredibly easy to forget you're watching one actor play two characters, an amazing performance.

Jeremy Irons is outstanding as the twins in this gruesome tale of drugs, identity. Originally slammed in this country for being too far fetched, despite being lossely based on a true story

Creepy, effective, not predictable early on where exactly it was going. Impressive dual performance/directing without modern CGI (eg Social Network twins). V. Glad to have seen it but dont think I'd enjoy repeat viewings (as Summary below says "Chilling", "disturbing"

cool film regarding the inseparable lives of identical twins. slowly and steadily descends into a deadly metaphor. often there might be a bit of distance between me and cronenberg emotionally, but i always like his films a lot.

Gêmeos Mórbida Semelhança estreava há 35 anos nos EUA e Canadá. O Irons deveria ter vencido o Oscar por Dead Ringers e não por O Reverso da Fortuna dois anos depois, sequer foi indicado por esse filme, mesmo ganhando prêmios de ator nas principais premiações da crítica americana. Por isso p Oscar sempre foi e sempre será uma fraude. DVD Versátil.

Jeremy Irons' Oscar for "Reversal of Fortune" was actually just a make-good because he wasn't nominated for this film. He's incredible. Weird movie, though.
