Double Lover

"What's liberating here is the film's lack of inhibitions, which absolves the guilt without compromising the pleasure."

"It's like the wildest Frasier episode they never made, and hits all the parts - sometimes literally - the Fifty Shades of Grey films couldn't hope to reach."

"Spins its influences into a frenzy that ultimately reveals the story to be very much its own thing. And a crazy, and eventually strangely moving, thing it is."

"The softcore silliness and lite-erotic stylings of François Ozon’s horribly middleweight psycho-suspense thriller may yet give it camp classic status."

"Double Lover quickly descends into a psychodrama of such committed dementedness I found myself liking it a great deal more than I probably should have."

"There are plenty of elements to admire in Amant Double but the endless twists and revelations grow tiresome."

"Francois Ozon's good twin/bad twin thriller puts dull Hollywood twaddle like Fifty Shades Freed to shame with its wild, wanton ride into the subconscious. Prepare for a mindblower."

"What gives the film its surprising coherence is not only the fluidity of Ozon's technique but also his mastery of tone, the ease with which he applies serious craft to a resolutely un-serious endeavor."

"A film that's made with serious craftsmanship but never takes itself seriously."
