Review of The Double (2014) by Martin P — 19 Apr 2014
This is hard work. Bleak, grey, plodding narrative, dark humoured. Proof that Eisenberg can hold a film ably assisted by a number of familiar bit part actors. Not one to go into in a depressed state. By the end of it you might be tempted to join a couple of the central characters in death.
Great cinematography. Avid cinephiles will note nods to Gillam's Brazil and Lynch's Eraserhead. A decent counter balance to the current cinema world of 3D and CGI overuse. Recommended if you're of a happier disposition.
