A well done suspense mystery with a bit of action, more than a bit of romance plus some double crosses, misdirection, and deception. Has a bit of a Hitchcockian flavor to it.

The director earned a nomination for the European Film award in the European Discovery of the Year category. This is quality cinema with a smart screenplay and a solid mise-en-scene. The main actress, Russian Kseniya Rappoport, has, without a doubt, a promising future ahead of her. Recommended.

i feel like this film was maybe the first or second draft of this story. if there would have been more revisions or editing done in the writing process it could have been better. also, it had the feel of a lot of European thrillers from the last couple of decades, almost like the filmmaker just watched a lot of films in preparation and took want he wanted from each one. it's not terrible, but not worth seeing twice.

A taut, twisty thriller about a housemaid whose love life takes a tragic turn during a botched robbery, but finds herself haunted by the accident, and the nagging feeling that her love may still be alive. THE DOUBLE HOUR is a film whose surprises genuinely surprise and whose shocks genuinely shock. It layers on the twists and turns, but each one makes sense, even as the film doubles back on itself multiple times.

Unlike the vast majority of contemporary Italian films, this has something to say. And it says it well. Giuseppe Capotondi is obviously talented. A must see.
