The excellent design of sets, props, and costumes, as well as lightning-fast editing and immaculate shot composition saved the movie from complete obscurity and boredom for me. While it perhaps does not explore the doppelganger motif as deeply as Dostoyevsky's story, it still makes all the right choices in how it wants to present itself.

Directed by Richard Ayoade.

Nothing extraordinary or memorable about it! the 2nd half doesn't feel quite as precise as the first (likely by design), but the film coheres quite nicely as a refreshingly difficult look at how everyone desperately wants to feel different, and that's what makes us all the same.
