Garth Davis’s new film is the sum of many things that ultimately don’t hold much interest. Enemy meet two great (very popular) actors such as Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan. It is a romantic drama which has a fictional story with elements Blade Runner and a couple story tweets which does little more than confirm the film’s weak premise.
In 2065, the world will be low on water and food supplies. Consistency will be one of the main reasons. In this dystopian future scenario, Hen (Ronan) and Junior (Mezcal) are a married couple living in their backyard in the middle of the world. One night they are visited by a man from the government (Aaron Pierre), who offers Junior the opportunity to go to a work facility in a colony they are designing. However, Junior denies that he doesn’t want to be alone in Hen. the man invites her to visit Hen with a robot that will be his exact copy.
Really, Enemy, it can be seen as one of those dramas with performances that the Academy loves so much. We can visualize the analysis describing “show of force“The fields of Mescal, for example. And although yes, these are good works, the film cannot be sustained by this. A couple of monologues of screaming and crying are not enough. One of the things I’ve been trying to decide is that Ronan and Mezcal aren’t as good chemicals as they seem.

Something that we can never get under the belt is that the plot never cares whether the viewer knows this “possible world scenario.” How does this company work? What is the purpose of all this? How can we prevent this? There are painful scenes, for example, out of nowhere there is a sad group of the same Matrix. I think they could have tried a little more.
Not a single film has been preserved by title. Hace very little apparently We are all strangersmovie with Andrew Scott and the same Mescal could have suffered the same fate as Fo. However, yes, there is a story, the characters have different things. This is something we literally spent a couple of months working on. Black mirror. A place to embrace passionate stories and forget about science fiction. In conclusion, a refreshing and truly disgusting one.
