Dead Ringers

Perhaps Cronenberg's defining work this '88 film is a fascinating and masterful excursion into the themes that have been ever present in the director's oeuvre. Jeremy Irons gives an amazing pair of performances here that draw us into the depths of deterioration. Genevieve Bujold also impresses here. Artistically the film has a bold and controversial edge that is equally mesmerizing and disturbing. Essential cinema.

Identical twin gynecologists on LSD; you can't go wrong with a story like that. Based on a true story, the really interesting part (to me) was how a hospital (or any professional institution) is more dedicated to covering up for their colleagues than the public's welfare. This is common in every professional setting!

Jesus... I think I'll need at least 6 months to recover from that one. However, it's traumatizingly good. Just incredible. Cronenberg is probably the best horror film director, and the most intelligent.

The genius of Jeremy Irons and the unsettling nature of David Cronenberg are on full display in this brilliant film about twin gynecologists.

Scottie Ferguson

A brilliant film about many, many things; love, sex, ethics, science, brotherhood, drugs, madness... to name just a few themes. Absolutely astonishing how Cronenberg keeps it all in focus.

Jeremy Irons delivers one of the best performances I've ever seen and the story of the film itself is beautiful, disturbing and compelling. One of the best Cronenberg films I've seen yet.

my favorite Cronenberg. Jeremy Irons was amazing, one of the greatest performances in the history of cinema.

Pierluigi Puccini

One of Cronenberg's best films. A succesful attempt to transcend his carnal phase for a more psychological one. A morbid yet moving drama in which Jeremy Irons shines in an outstanding double role.
