CRITICS OF "Dead Ringers"

EmanuelLevy.Com

Impeccably executed, Cronenberg's first masterpiece is an unsettling film in which biological horror is entirely conveyed through pyschological exploration of character, masterfully played by Jeremy Irons in the best performance of his career.

Chicago Reader

People like myself who find the character played by [Genevieve] Bujold (in one of her best performances) more interesting than either of the twins are bound to feel rather frustrated by the end.

September 24, 2007

Georgia Straight

In a weird variation of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde theme, the Mantles are drawn relentlessly and frighteningly towards an inevitable and appalling fate.

Washington Post

Watching Ringers is not unlike watching a critical operation -- unnerving but also enthralling.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Film4

Irons gives a highly accomplished performance in a chilly knife-swapping psychodrama that remains among the director's leanest, meanest releases.

Combustible Celluloid

This is arguably David Cronenberg's masterpiece.

Cronenberg and Irons achieve perfection in horror.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

It's one of Cronenberg's more complex relationship tales, that puts a deadly spin on separation, loss and hopeless love.

March 02, 2007

Resource

Washington Post

Really sordid stuff that becomes ridiculous, painful, unbelievable and tedious.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Variety

Director David Cronenberg handles his usual fondness for gore in muted style.

September 24, 2007

Resource

Time Out

An intense psychological drama which confronts [Cronenberg's] familiar preoccupations -- fear of physical and mental disintegration, mortality, the power struggle between the sexes -- without the paradoxical protection of visceral disgust.

January 26, 2006

Resource

New York Times

Cronenberg, who has begun to emerge as a master of body-related horrific fantasy, clearly understands that a small amount of medical mischief can be more unnerving than conventional grisliness.
