Its David Cronenberg through and through - alot unanswered and really moody. Good film though not easy viewing but well worth watching.

A great underrated movie

This movie is really creepy and it has one of the best perfomance ever. Jeremy Irons portrays 2 different twins so well that if even though they are identical, you can easily identify them. The story is fascinating as well. It is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in David Cronenberg's work.

Films and the critics who hate them (732 movies items)

"People like myself who find the character played by Bujold (in one of her best performances) more interesting than either of the twins are bound to feel rather frustrated by the end. - Jonathan Rosenbaum, \Chicago Reader The kind of movie where you ask people how they liked it, and they say, 'Well, it was well made,' and then they wince. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times"

Movie Diary (659 movies items)

" The most haunting and interesting thing about Dead Ringers isn't the twists, or the gore, or even the merging of their identities, but the regressive way the siblings must experience the same things and their repressive homoerotic relationship (they vicariously danced together with a woman in between them).
