Additional InformationRichard Ayoade's stylized adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novella THE DOUBLE stars Jesse Eisenberg as James Simon, a meek office drone who bumbles his way through his day, forever pining for a pretty girl (Mia Wasikowska) who lives near him and working hard for a boss (Wallace Shawn) who doesn't see any of his accomplishments. One day James discovers that he has a new co-worker, Simon James (also Eisenberg), who looks just like him and possesses all of the confidence and charisma that James lacks. James befriends this new person, and soon the put-upon man is asserting himself. However, soon he fears he's becoming just another pawn in Simon's relentless self-interest.
ReviewsThe Guardian UK - ...it's a great story. And Ayoade has produced a brilliant copy., indieWIRE - The story arrives at a satisfying emotional conclusion with wonderfully thoughtful ramifications.
