	Author	Review
United States	Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"Striking (...) engrossing and provocative psychological thriller (...) Villeneuve’s superb craft and darkened vision."	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"As hauntingly strange as it is inconclusive and frustrating, 'Enemy' (...) is one of the more head-scratching additions to the doppelganger genre."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A simultaneously unsettling and exasperating work of speculative fiction different enough in subject, pacing and tone from everything else out there."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Much of the fun in 'Enemy', which is tightly constructed and expertly shot, lies in Mr. Gyllenhaal’s playful and subtle performances."	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"It doesn’t add up to much of anything exciting. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Gyllenhaal is excellent in the dual roles, though Laurent (...) is given too little to do to make much of an impression. Isabella Rossellini has a brief, thankless role as the mother of at least one of the two look-alikes. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
