The film's bleakness is almost satirical. It's Brazil drained of the daydreams.

The Double invites second looks and close examination. As Simon finds when peering into mirrors, what we see is often unexpected.

The Double doesn't get very deep, but it does get interesting.

Rotten
"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.

"The Double" is a striking piece of work, but it's nostalgic for a kind of paranoia that may no longer exist. There are different things to frighten us now.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
