It's a very good movie! I feel like this is where Villeneuve needs to stay as a director. He's much better pulling off this sort of straightforward prestige genre stuff than he is with other things. Blade Runner is a good choice for him.

I super disagree. Enemy is my favorite of his because it actively engages in magical realism and surrealism. The best parts of his movies is when they dispense with realism and become weird and metaphorical.

This movie was visually great, and had some of the magical stuff I like from Villaneuve, in that it follows Emily Blunt as she enters this strange world with incomprehensible rules, but I had problems with the script. Some of the characters, especially Emily Blunt's, felt weak, and I would have loved some more agency.

I just got out of an advance screening, so I still need to do some thinking on it, but I liked it despite whatever issues it had.
