Critics Consensus

Thanks to a strong performance from Jake Gyllenhaal and smart direction from Denis Villeneuve, Enemy hits the mark as a tense, uncommonly adventurous thriller.

Jason Anderson

Sight & Sound

Gyllenhaal faces the tricky task of conveying the subtle differences of two men whose identities are thrown into flux. The result is his most nuanced performance since playing another sleuth caught out of his depth in Zodiac.

Observer (UK)

Enemy has morbid elegance to spare, which should guarantee it some long-term cult prestige.

Rated: 3/5

KSQD Community Radio

Enemy is brimming with non-commercial bravado that borders on being confessional. Just as Hitchcock made manifest his voyeuristic and controlling proclivities, Villeneuve exposes his own conflicted feelings towards women and monogamy.

A24 makes another slow burn to capture feelings of characters. Ouch on that main character guy. Gutsy writing. Who is the enemy then?
