A surreal and enigmatic tale about adultery and fear of commitment. Gyllenhaal and Gadon (especially the latter) are solid in this, and the film is certainly a puzzle, but a solvable one nonetheless. While it is a "doppelganger" film at heart, it is more of an exploration of an adulterous man's psychological struggle of coming to terms with the reality of commitment to his pregnant wife. The spider metaphors are clever. Plus, I like that it takes inspiration from Louise Bourgeois's sculptures.

I don't know if Enemy is a good movie or a bad movie. It's a discussion topic and a head-scratcher, and the fact that it will make you think or become incredibly angry at it to me makes it something worth seeing. You'll spend its 90 minutes trying to figure it out and I don't think many people will be able to, especially not on a single viewing. I couldn't. It might all be pointless nonsense, but it's engrossing and is worth seeing, even if you come away infuriated and confused.

Threw this in after learning its directed by Dennis Villeneuve. It's about as visually impressive as his other films, and the cinematography is very pretty. I also love Gyllenhaal so I was bound to get some enjoyment out of it. The directing and score are oddly haunting but very well done, and kudos to those who understood the ending and al of the spiders. Overall this was a strange, unique experience and I enjoyed it all the way through. Good film.

I'm not normally a big fan of rewatching movies because ye gods, I still have so many more to see and there's only so much time before someone finally wises up and shoots me in the face. But I want to rewatch Enemy as soon as possible. A moody mystery that drew me in so completely I can't wait to watch it again with a new understanding of the bigger picture. The ever-present yellow color scheme is pretty ridiculous though.

Just today I was reading something written by another me, one from 17 years ago, where this double of myself described to me the role of the uncanny in BLUE VELVET. And then I happened to watch this movie. And then Isabella Rossellini suddenly appeared, as the mother! But where in Lynch symbols are meant to lead to mysteries lying beyond them, here they are more like a code to be deciphered, hence flatter. Note that Freud discusses the idea that in dreams spiders represent the phallic mother.

(2nd viewing) Carried along by a strong narrative drive and rigorous stylistic control, Villeneuve's Enemy is a genuinely unnerving experience that had me both transfixed as well as utterly perplexed as to the greater themes it so clearly attempted to explore. While bound to spur endless discussions, its heavy reliance on symbolism doesn't convolute the film as much as disrupt its emotional core.

Honestly don't know whether to give it 70 or 17. This mostly gets points for atmosphere and unexplainable sense of dread. Then the massive "what the fuck" ending that made me question everything I just watched. There's either a well planned out Primer like literal explanation OR a wanky metaphorical answer that we will be bored by film students with. My problem with any kind of metaphor is I don't care what everyone else's interpretation is,only what the director intended.

Not particularly profound, nor deep, as it so hard tries to be. The film drags and at times highly tedious, the script is muddled and simply too vague to even remotely translate well to the screen. If I want to make a jigsaw puzzle I will choose to do so, but to read a page long explanation by some random dude after the credits roll shouldn't be a necessity. In that case the director doesn't understand the craft of filmmaking.

An intriguing idea for a story but focuses too much on symbolism and "being deep" to actually be anything worth watching. I may have been able to forgive the horrible ending if the film actually had anything to say but instead you are likely to end up laughing when they were trying so so hard to be profound. Should be remade by someone who knows how to write a script.

An intricate puzzle about conflicting fears and desires, not necessarily limited to men, but applied to their example. In addition to his brilliant directing, i love how villeneuve takes his time and therefore demands yours in return. Multiple viewings are mandatory, and they pay off so damn well. Gyllenhaal is superb, the ladies are chosen wisely. Just the grading, although i get its purpose, can be a tad tiresome.

This is not quite a thriller as it is a dark and surreal puzzle; it's an adventure through the subconscious of man, specifically a man who wishes to escape commitment and give in to adulterous temptations. Somewhere past the halfway point, I must admit that the dimly-lit green-yellow hue and forlorn tuba music dragged down my experience; but that ending - haunting and memorable - makes it worth it!

Before civilization created an app that would scour the Internet tubing for images of people who looked like you, mankind was relegated to watching Walgreen's bargain bin videos to locate possible dopplegangers. Now, doppleganging has never been so easy, but how long do we have until the gods topple our Tower of Babylon and send us back to the dopperless dark ages? Only the spiders know. THE SPIDERS!

Do you ever get that feeling where you're in a dream and everything feels logical and senseless at the same time and you realize it's completely senseless to separate what's logical from what's nonsense because they're bleeding into one another? This gloriously enigmatic film felt like that. Is it a film about the male psyche's destructive tendencies? An exploration of the conflicting nature of identity? A giant spider invasion film? Could be all of those or none of those things. Who cares.

This is a very well made confusing mess. The ending scene tops it off as pointless and stupid. They failed miserably with ridiculous symbolism. I expected something more coherent. Nice performance from Jake Gyllenhaal. I had it figured out after the first 15 minutes. If only they had cut and replaced the first and last 5 minutes, it would have been more tolerable. My comment to the writer and director is BOOOOOOOO!!!

There's a weird feel to this one. It's not a BAD feel, but, it's weird, unique (in the sense that you don't see it OFTEN), and memorable. You can be forgiven for feeling that the first half-hour or so is disjointed and/or for feeling somewhat-apathetic towards it; this is a movie that definitely takes awhile to get going. The movie is not straightforward and that will definitely turn some people off. There's worthwhile material here to be found by those with the dedication to find it. See it!

Enemy is a richly powerful experience, but that's pretty well where my compliments for it stop. On one level yes, I was involved with the story and enjoying Gyllenhaal's multi-faceted performance, but sometimes when a more expiremental approach is taken to a film it muddles too much, lingers too long before jumping too fast, and is left too open-ended. Some essays I've read on the film have shed some light, and some of it is even brilliant, but Enemy still reaches too far into a fog.

A thought-provoking and brooding psychological mind trap that succeeds mostly because of great sound and a convincing dual performance from Gyllenhaal. It's unwieldily at times because the storytelling is so abstract, and the supporting cast feels under-utilized. Sarah Godin is great in her few scenes and made me wish she had more to do.

Enemy is a truly maddening experience, with too many open-ended questions and disconnected symbols to allow for any kind of resolve. There are some movies that attempt to be 'profound,' void of actually saying anything. Still, the mood and Gyllenhaal's multi-faceted performance make it worthy of a watch. NOTE: The ending is the biggest tease I've experienced in a long time -- any discussions post-viewing will more than likely be richer than the movie itself.

Villeneuve creates an impressive atmosphere of existential dread, and Jake Gyllenhall provides (an) impressive performance(s). Unfortunately, the attempts at philosophical depth aren't handled very well, and basically amount to "If you had an identical double, you'd totally try to fuck his girlfriend, right?" Perhaps its exploration of character would be more affecting without the distracting and incomprehensible tarantula motif.

There are two types of "Puzzle Movies": The kind that suck you in and make you care about uncovering the explanation, and the kind that you don't give a shit about figuring out. So which kind is Enemy? Luckily, the former. With its compelling story, mysterious atmosphere and superb acting, I couldn't help but crave an explanation for the utterly shocking ending. God, that last shot scared the crap out of me. I don't yet understand it (gonna go do some reading now), but I know I enjoyed it.

One more dobbelgänger movie in a psychological way pointed by La Moustache in 2006 (except in the French movie the main protagonist was loosing his one and only personality). People have a double identity. You see one person but he can be the other inside. Wife should spot the difference. The deepest corners of the mind are sometimes darker than we can imagine. What's lurking in there? And is the biggest threat inside you or outside?

LOST HIGHWAY meets EYES WIDE SHUT, though LOST HIGHWAY was already LOST HIGHWAY meets EYES WIDE SHUT. A lot of psychological work and fantasy, really, just to be able to have less inhibited sex with his girlfriend, or have sex with someone other than his girlfriend. He'd be tempted to cover his eyes at the sex club, but then there is the Big Spider of Shame and Guilt.

The talented duo Villeneuve and Gyllenhaal returns again to create an unique movie. A surrealistic, engaging and adventurous doppelgänger-thriller. The picture is atmospheric, tense and beautifully shot, but it's a disorienting puzzle that plays with its audience. It explores the masculine intimacy and a man's phycological struggle, when he decides to leave his mistress and come to terms with his fear of commitment to his pregnant wife.

I'd complain that it's pretty thin on plot and character, but it's so unnervingly creepy throughout that I'd be nitpicking. Funny how terrifying it is to confront what is essentially yourself, how much of our individual identity is bound up in our avatar. And that ending. Damn.

It begins like a dark and dreary hitchcock but moves into a strange study of identity and control maybe and maybe not and in any case its a great film to try to analyze.

Careful! This film may not be for you! Careful! Filled with symbolism.(Spoilers ahead) all of the creepy imagery is arachnid/spider based... And all of it has to do with what gyllenhaals character is very afraid of; the women in his life. He sees them as predators looking to ensnare him. The huge one over the city is his mother, the one with the fangs and eyes are the random women that could possibly turn him on, and the one at the end that appears afraid of him... Is his wife.

1st viewing: Frontloaded. Too busy parading its MYSTERIOUS SENSE OF DREAD(TM) before the plot actually calls for it to make me notice the stuff I probably needed to keep in mind at the end. Yet there's something deeply disturbing in it that makes me want to see it again. Whatever it is, it doesn't pander. Maybe I should just read the novel. ETA: No, it probably is just as turnkey simple as it seems.

Can I by a vowel, please... I have a gut feeling that this is a great film, but it's too difficult for me to understand the metaphors to be sure. I'm torn when it comes to movies where I need clues from interviews with the director and actor, but in the end I always let it be a good thing that I feel invested enough to spent even more time trying to get the most out of a movie. My grade is only mid-range as I think it's a bit much that every scene is attempting to be overly intense.

It's a mind game movie: A conflict within a man psyche picturized. It could had been a Lynch or a Cronenberg movie. But, though effective and well directed, it has not the imagination, creativity, of Eraserhead or Videodrome. And that make it also less clear: except the "yellow" cinematography, it's all so "real", undertone, with few powerful images, and this can misleading you in the understanding of the film, making it a less-enjoyable puzzle-solving experience. But it remains a nice puzzle.

I've never read the book this is based on but having now read some analysis on Enemy the potential themes are a lot more clear. It's probably about living under a totalitarian government without knowing it, and Denis subtly shows this in the environment and in the way he contrasts the doubles. This made me appreciate the film more than I did originally. Anyway, Jake put in a good performance as usual and Denis created an atmosphere full of dread as usual.

The good kind of brain-teaser movie. You can follow the mostly-engaging story but slowly understand the bizarre imagery and little, well-decided touches all around.

Despite not understanding much of the film I'd still recommend it for atmosphere and mood more than content.

First film from director Villeneuve that I've seen and it's a good one. It felt to me like a blend of Lynch and Cronenberg (the latter might be because of Canadian locations), but Villeneuve clearly also has his own style. Gyllenhaal plays his two parts (sides?) well and with this and Nightcrawler I've started to appreciate his recent acting choices and work on whole new level. I also appreciated that for once the duration was kept at ~90mins without hurting the story. Probably one to revisit.

I've only seen Villeneuve's Prisoners and this film, but he's batting 1000 in my book and I now want to see everything he's ever done. Aided by Gyllenhaal's perfect performance, he's able to create dread with nearly every single frame of the film. Even the first scene in the classroom felt ominous, and I didn't know why! I've read countless theories explaining the film - most sound like rubbish to me. I don't have my own to contribute (yet) but the film is no less magnificent for it.

Disintegrating relationship, guilt, paranoia and urban claustrophobia. Subtle and competent in many ways and I can see it working for a lot of people but I just found it a bit trite with its symbolism, style & devices and misjudged in terms of drama & tension. The obscurity and mystery seem to just mask a gaping lack of interesting ideas, originality and depth. Seen all of this done so much better in films like Eyes Wide Shut, Lost Highway or even Moon. It shows a lot of promise though.

Perhaps it's a masterful thriller. Perhaps it's just a masterful tease. Whatever it is, it's incredibly well-made. Denis Villeneuve and Jake Gyllenhaal reunite after the excellent PRISONERS with this tale of a humdrum professor who discovers his exact double, a minor actor involved in some shady business. No one seems entirely sure what is real, or who is who--at film's end, you may be more confused than ever. And perhaps that's the beauty of it. Vividly directed, superbly acted, and gripping.

"Enemy" could be Villeneuve's least successful film so far (that I've seen) -it's also his most ambitious and memorable. Foreboding and baffling, it pinned me to my seat start-to-finish, with its marvelously constructed atmosphere and a rock-solid performance from Gyllenhaal. Its symbolism may be too elliptical to be fully satisfactory but what does show through packs quite a punch.

Enemy may be one of the most peculiar films I've ever experienced. This is an extraordinarily analytical piece of filmmaking that got under my skin and has since stayed with me. Following the success of 'Prisoners', Denis Villeneuve is proving to be one incredibly talented filmmaker. And both visually and atmospherically this is stunning craft. Jake Gyllenhaal is on a fine run of form and he gives (an) impressive performance(s) here. Enemy definitely requires and deserves repeated viewings.

Despite what some have said, there is nothing ambiguous or open-ended here; the film merely presents itself in an initially confusing way. But it's very much a puzzle film, and once you piece it together it doesn't have a ton of depth. It doesn't really explore its themes; it just forces you to find them. It's well done, though, so it is initially very unnerving and compelling. It's exciting to experience, but with the puzzle solved, there's not much else to think about.

Looking back on Enemy's atmoshpere I guess I should've watched it in autumn rather than summer: it has something eery about it, the colours are all yellow-brownish and it's somewhat depressing for sure. And the movie's confusing - literally until the very last moment. But also intriguing. All in all it leaves a lot of room for interpretation without getting too pretentious. And it reminded me to finally read one of Saramago's novels.

So Enemy is either about Gyllenhaal's character (Adam) attempting to rid himself of his ambitious, lecherous alter-ego (Anthony); briefly succeeding (by choosing to live as Adam in his/Anthony,s life) before succumbing to his darker urges in the final scene. Where the spiders are a representation of his feelings (mainly fear) of women. The film is deliberate and slow paced, almost punishingly so. Alternatively the film is about sentient-spider body-snatchers. A chore to watch, but not w/o merit.

Popular mindbenders like Mulholland Drive (from which it borrows one important symbol), The Metamorphosis (which it evokes with another), Eyes Wide Shut, maybe even Fight Club have done this better. I agree with djross that the film suffers for the code-like nature of its content, compared to better works whose figurative language is unforced and eloquent, not just deliberately confusing. Villeneuve has serious talent, but his films' scripts (looking at you, Prisoners) tend to reek of bullshit.

Enigmatic, symbolic and held together by a strong performance from Jake Gyllenhaal who is rapidly emerging as one of the greatest portrayers of human anxiety there has been. The problem Enemy has is when the personal infusion of Villenueve clashes with the original story, leaving a confusing concoction that doesn't feel fully synthesized. After "that final scene" I was left feeling frustrated, but with time and some consideration the frustration has festered into an obsessive desire for answers.

While another testament to the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal deserves an Oscar, i do feel that Villenueve did too much. You could unlock the whole mystery of the movie with the word "symbolism", but unless you are given that word or idea you cannot. You will either figure out the whole thing or be hopelessly lost and look it up, ruining the puzzle. Gadon and Laurent did well, but they weren't given too much, and were just passerby to Jake's show. His subtle performance, or performances ;) define it

Compelling thriller with a masterful control of tone and a surprising ending, but no answers.

Villeneuve tries something different but apperantly he's not good at it. It's like movie come out from a book. It has everyting it needs but something is missing. It's not good as Incendies. Movie is lack of emotion.

There's a substantive kernel of intrigue at the heart of Enemy, but parsing it requires wading through the rather overbearing editing and stylistic elements that mostly just get in the way of a decent, mysterious psychological drama film. It's worth persevering with beyond the opening, and looking past the oppressive colour grading and quirky camera movements, though I can't speak to its depth given that Villeneuve seems more concerned with obsfuscating any meaning than exploring it deeply.

Pretty good up until the cheap shot ending.

Mezczyzna spotyka swojego sobowtora, a zdarzenie to wywoluje u niego obsesje i wyrazne zmiany w zachowaniu. Brzmi standardowo, ale standardowe nie jest. To naprawde dobry film jest.

"Enemy" is disconcerting and enigmatic; Gyllenhaal's performance and the picture's use of color and cryptic imagery culminate in one of the year's most shocking conclusions.
