FilmsThe DoubleLike this

Films like The Double.

The Double (2013) reads as Heavy, steady, measured drama / thriller, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
