Simon is a timid man, scratching out an isolated existence in an indifferent world. He is overlooked at work, scorned by his mother, and ignored by the woman of his dreams. He feels powerless to change any of these things. The arrival of a new co-worker, James, serves to upset the balance. James is both Simons exact physical double and his opposite - confident, charismatic and good with women. To Simons horror, James slowly starts taking over his life.
Ayoade's second film is a confident follow-up to the promising Submarine. Jesse Eisenberg's office worker lacks confidence at work and with women. His double does not have that problem.
Ayoade draws plenty of mannered comedy from the protagonist's embarrassment, and tremendous atmosphere from a meticulously shot and lit film. It reminded me of an early Coen Brothers film, or perhaps Jeunet & Caro. If the ending doesn't quite deliver on its promise, it's no great disappointment either. Eisenberg is excellent as both his trademark weed and his double, and the supporting cast are generally excellent. Recommended.IMDB Reviewer
