Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

John Brooks This film is highlighted by its dark temperament, an excellent Jeremy Irons and also a very good Bujold, and a grand finale totally in the momentum of the film that does not let down.The atmosphere is cold, suffocating and degenerative; all the while holding a certain beauty at its core, and being darkly poetic.The dialog is good, the sort that has hidden meaning.The film seems to always make references to concealed symbols, and is not a mere execution of its narrative. There's meaning, interpretation.As criticism, one could feel this film was not interactive enough and self-complacent in how much talk it contains; like it is an inevitable realization of its somewhat predictable storyline. Furthermore, the answer at the end doesn't seem to be as clear: how far does the metaphor go ?

Uriah43 This movie is about two identical twins named "Elliott Mantle" and his brother "Beverly Mantle" (both played by Jeremy Irons) who have shared an interest in medicine all of their lives. But that's not all they share as the slightly older twin, Elliott, is less shy and typically initiates a sexual relationship with a woman and then when he gets tired of her passes her off to Beverly who takes it from there. Although this has worked like a charm for years, one day Elliott just so happens to hand a woman named "Claire Niveau" (Genevieve Bujold) to Beverly who then falls deeply in love with her. To make matters worse, when Claire finds out what has happened she gets angry with both brothers which throws Beverly into an emotional tailspin that results in dramatic consequences for everyone involved. Now from what I understand this movie has apparently garnered both critical and popular approval. That's fine. However, rather than following the proverbial crowd I happen to demur from the overall consensus as I found this movie to be a bit too dark and dreary for my tastes. Admittedly, Jeremy Irons performed in an excellent manner and he deserves whatever praise is offered. But even so I still thought the movie was too slow and boring and as a result I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

orza1995 Set in Toronto 1988 Siamese twin the extrovert Elliot and the introvert Beverly (both played by the brilliant Jeremy Irons) are brilliant gynaecologist. Throughout out there lives the twins have shard homes, jobs and due to the identical physical appearances women. After a short relationship that includes the twins engaging in sado erotic sex with an actress named Claire (Geneviève Bujold). After a short time she discovers that they are two different people. Beverly soon fall in love with her, and after discovering Claire has a deformed womb and is infertile. She leaves for a new film and the twins believe she is sleeping with someone ells, this is the key to the once collated Beverly to fall into a spiral of depression, drugs and a strange belief that all women he sees have deformed wombs.The very opining sequences of the film highlight exactly the films subject matter is, which is sex the cold observation on the life cycle of the human race. This is recognised through the central performances by Jeremy Irons playing the two twins is titanic and operatic, every nuance he places into each twin is impeccable. This role however does have a tendency to ought-way the role of Geneviève Bujold, which in some respects reinforces how fragile her character is at heart. In terms of personal development for director Cronenberg, up to this point Dead Ringers was his most mature film. This is because in previous films such as Scanners, his subtext was directly translated throughout the gore, however Dead Ringers proves to be a more metaphysical representation of themes commonly found in Cronenberg work (such as sex, life, death and flesh). Where the threat of danger and themes are only hinted at. One example is the strange homo-erotic relation that the two twins have. Other examples are all the hinted terrors the film, and the underlining feeling that some thing bad will happen very soon. Over this part of the film may bring a negative element to the film ,where some of the pacing is slow and uneventful, this however works in the films favourer, for the final fifteen minutes are not only painful to watch but are sole destroying. The film has had an obvious influences to Takashi Miike Audition, in respects to the grime ending and all the way to Pascal Laugier Martyrs that has the same clinical view on life. Overall the film is a ner-perfict, with and this proving the be the most mature peace that director David Cronenberg had made at the time. However the minimalist approach to big themes may give people a empty feeling.

lasttimeisaw Cronenberg's unsettling denuding of an identical twins' inseparability wreaks controversy in its in-depth protrusion of psychiatric delusion and drug abuse, Jeremy Irons, plays the Mantle twins, both gynecologists and live together, even perversely share the same woman. Albeit their mirror-image resemblance, Beverly is the shy boffin while Elliot is the gregarious mouthpiece who is astute and dedicative in taking care of his younger brother's every need, after meeting a sterile actress (Claire) who has a mutant vagina, Beverly irrationally falls for her and slowly he becomes drug-addictive and paranoid (cause and effect), and even Elliot couldn't rescue him, a finally unhinged Beverly slips into the abyss and tragedy is irrevocable. Irons offers a tour-de-force engagement by splitting himself into two disparate roles, initially one wonders how could we tell them separately, and 5 minutes later, one will realize how distinguishable they are, Beverly is a meek soul, his life orbit is dominated and regulated by Elliot, who is sensible enough to admit they are an entity since neither of them could live without each other, nonetheless, the equilibrium has fatefully been violated by the interloper Claire, Bujold is feisty and emanates a cocktail of Independence and vulnerability which fatally enchants Beverly and triggers his downhill of the separation procedure. The midstream of the film deals with the decomposition of Beverly's mental stability has damped down by a slightly tedious script, which is wanting some explicable introductions to the mayhem it has caused, but the coda does save the pathos and it is mesmerizing and gives a sucker punch to the gut. Cronenberg's films often leave me some bitter aftertaste, last year's COSMOPOLIS (2012, 4/10) is beyond my interpretation, but DEAD RINGERS has its integral breakdown of a psychosexual drama, and fan-boys will be exulted to indulge in Cronenberg's signature chimerical shots (sundering the umbilical cord, the surgery ceremony in vermilion with a set of eerie apparatus) and there are magical contrivances to put two Jeremy Irons present in the same frames (deeming its pre-computer era), accolades should be also awarded to the film's steadfast emotion liberation, which encroaches inches by inches into the subliminal conscious of its protagonists, a compelling piece of work rests higher on the shelf than Cronenberg's other lesser creations.
