Synopsis

Alex, a quiet forty-something, leads an ordinary life until new neighbours move in. The husband is Alex’s perfect lookalike… except for one thing: he has hair. Alex sinks into a growing paranoia as he becomes preoccupied with this more charismatic, brilliant and accomplished mysterious double.

Community Reviews

Viewers of 'Alter Ego' find themselves torn between admiration and disappointment. Laurent Lafitte's dual performance is widely praised for its depth and humor, capturing the essence of a comedic yet troubling doppelgänger scenario. While the film's unique blend of absurdity and dark humor is appreciated, some criticize its pacing and occasional over-the-top silliness. The film's visual style and the finale particularly divide opinions, with some finding it clever and others feeling it detracts from the overall quality.

👍 Laurent Lafitte's dual role performance is a standout.

👎 Some find the film's pacing and finale overly absurd.
