...it is a pleasure to see Richard Gere in the lead. He's an actor who has been improbably attractive all of his career and now, at 62, has only improved with age.

...it is brilliant: quick-witted, elegant, funny and unsettling.

Ayoades stiliserede interiører er et perfekt match til Eisenbergs fascinerende slåen flikflak mellem den farveløse Simon og den flabede James.

Det er gennem Eisenberg, at filmen hæver sig op over mængden. Og ’The Double’ hæver sig langt op.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Double about? Toggle content

The Double is a movie that tells the story of Simon James, a timid and unremarkable office worker who feels invisible to those around him. His life takes a dramatic turn when a new employee, James Simon, joins the company. James is Simon's exact opposite - confident, charismatic, and successful - and he quickly takes over Simon's life, seducing his coworkers and even winning the affection of the woman Simon has been pining for. As James increasingly pushes Simon out of his own life, Simon becomes unhinged and descends into madness. The movie explores themes of identity, insecurity, and the fragility of human relationships in a darkly comedic way.
