Kafkaesque horror or Wes Anderson black comedy? Or perhaps a little bit of both? Richard Ayoade’s grimly whimsical adaptation of Dostoevsky’s short story certainly elicits uncomfortable chuckles as he tells the story of a clerk who runs…

A dystopian nightmare starring the always repulsive Jesse Eisenberg.

One of the worst movies I have ever watched. I'm surprised that I ever finished it. I kept hoping for some meaning before the end. NOPE! The only thing that was communicated is that a shy, withdrawn, introverted person yearns to be…

I see this drama as the struggle of a person who suffers from the severe bipolar disorder. Quite interesting and thought-provoking!

was this mia's debut? she certainly is a pretty girl. it appears to be difficult to make a coherent film from this dostoevsky novella.

What a horribly boring movie and such a waste of my time. I've liked Jesse Eisenberg in pretty much everything he has done and I kept hoping for the movie to get better as time went on, but it never did. It was bad to begin with and just…

This is a very funny and dark film (in a Kafka sort of way). It has a very British type of humor to it. It is very well made, unlike what some here seem to suggest. Eisenberg is superb. I've never seen someone playing a double as well.…

A lonely man who just wanted to be visible and acknowledged by the society saw what his life could be through his doppelganger, in real life or imagined.

The premise showed promise but the execution was flawed. Strange is fine but films like "Donnie Darko", "Zero Theorem", and "Muholand Drive" are superior.

So...I was looking at Jesse Eisenber's filmography on wikipedia and it looks like the only other film he was in that I saw was M. Knight's The Village - and I don't even remember him being in that one. I thought he was superb in The Social…

waste of time movie, but slightly entertaining.

Nonsensical trying to pass as creative. I want to sue the producer of this movie for wasting my valuable time. Time that I will not get back.

Did anyone say "Kafkaesque?" I guess that was the effect they were trying for, but this guy isn't Joseph K., and my interest flagged after about 20 minutes.

I liked this fiction DVD 50/50. It is about identity theft. Simon (S) is a timid man, scratching out an isolated existence in an indifferent world. S is overlooked at work, scorned by his mother, and ignored by the woman of his dreams. S…

OMG--- Incredible, spooky, dank, trippy, loopy, mindf--kish, alternateuniversey, thought-bending, cool, highly artsy film, "The Double (2013)," starring Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska. Wow!! Rated this DVD 📀 4of5stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐. 😲🤯. God…

This is a difficult movie to follow, but worth the effort.

Waste of time. Dark, un-connected thoughts. Watched bonus features hoping to get some clairity but that didnt help. Seemed like a goid topic but wasnt executed very well. Guess Im in the minority though.

This was defiantly a different type of movie than I am use to. It was kinda weird I thought I see from reading the other comments a lot of people liked it, but I honesty I thought it was a waste of my time by the end of it. I was getting…

The film has a certain style that I like, and initially shows promise. However, in the end it falls flat. Disappointing.

While this got a rave rating from Rotten Tomatoes (86 fresh), my wife and I found it trite, poorly produced, terrible sound quality and not worth the time to watch. It is based on an old Russian novella so is naturally dark and brooding. …

Didn't realize there were 2 movies with the same name but totally different subjects. My mistake for not checking properly. This was a totally boring movie.

This is a seriously weird and disturbing movie ....! Glad I watched it!

I thought it was fine and very funny. The film is based on Dostoyevski, one of THE most significant artists in history and he isn't light fare, though the film has laugh out loud moments. It is set in a very grim and dismal environs…
