L'amant double's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
It's an absolute gem.
The Telegraph
It?s a fantasy not of sexual satisfaction but sexual accomplishment, and perhaps no director other than Ozon would have the imagination and panache to carry it off.
Variety
Sure, it?s kinky, but Ozon is having fun with it, to the extent that the entire film rewards that fetish all moviegoers have in common ? voyeurism ? offering up a kind of equal-opportunity objectification.
Cinemanía
Ozon chooses the doppelgänger to flirt again with the classic psychological thriller and edge the tributes while freezing his personal irony.
The Playlist
The cinematic trickery on display ? lurid dissolves, off-kilter juxtapositions, and bizarre dance numbers bouncing around Chloe?s brittle mindscape ? compensates for the skin-deep thematics, and keep the rhythm of the film popping.
Cine Premiere
Ozon seems to very quickly propose to his spectators to participate in a track game requesting his imagination, and taking it by the hand in a Hitchcockian universe.
Le Monde
François Ozon embarked on the staging of a moving and elusive landscape, a female unconscious. He does it with his usual virtuosity.
Fotogramas
Ozon confirms that he is not one of those creators to be tempted by the armchair of prestige.
The Hollywood Reporter
Its tale of doubles, deception and desire allows Ozon to fool around with some of his favorite themes ? the turbulent inner lives of complex women, the distance between appearance and reality, the essential unknowability of even our most intimate loved ones, the necessity of imagination in enduring everyday life.
Clarin
The director of '8 women' launches to the subject of double, the thriller and, of course, the amour fou [...] Almodóvar surely loves this resounding change of Ozon after the exquisite Frantz.
