Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

syncipher-937-792037 It was an ok movie, was basically confused the whole way through, were the Identicals clones, were they people that look like you,,, In the end I decided that the film was all about the first part. "Let me Just profile you" In that the whole movie was just him sat in that chair being profiled in virtual reality, What would he do under certain circumstances, how does he react, This profiling would continue it's bizarre flow until he reached the point where he was living his perfect life. Once they figured this out, they then go and place him in that exact same situation, Aka the perfect life space, Whilst also instilling into his mind he has to do exactly what they want him too.Overall it was an ok movie, could definitely have done better with the plot line. You are left wondering at the end, what exactly was going on, Use your imaginations watchers, Don't expect a movie to handhold you the whole way through, Sometimes just sometimes a movie will force you to make up your own ending and plot line. Personally I don't see any thing wrong with that. 6/10, May have been better as a short instead of a full length movie.

rennmowbray I watched it to the end hoping for some plot to emerge and validate the movies 7.3 IMDb rating, nothing happened, so save yourself the pain.The 'sound effects' begged me to turn it off within the first two minutes, various high pitch tones that continue throughout the film. No plot. I don't know what to say about the acting. The CGI and every part of the imagery is just nauseating. I've never felt the need to write a review before this, the IMDb rating really effed me here though. All trust in this rating system is lost. DON'T WATCH, DO ANYTHING ELSE.

Jacques Du Rand I completely understand the frustration and the sense of feeling lost most people have experienced with this film. It is not going to be everybody's cup of tea and I would almost dare say this is a film made for a film student to analyze. Identicals, not very aptly titled, is like a slow hand that keeps testing your borders as a viewer with its sensual cinematography and a very intense focused story-line that plays away from the usual action based plot lines, but rather becomes a cat and mouse of reactions. It sits very difficult from a psychological point of view since it uses very subtle nuances in film making to keep the viewer feeling uncomfortable and I think this discomfort has probably been experienced by many to be "boredom". We are uncertain throughout who is the cat and who is the mouse while the story unfolds and the two main players keep pushing back and forth testing boundaries and trying to find each other's " you" factor. It is The Nines (2007) meets Melancholia (2011) meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). Far from perfect, I felt that this was a story that could have either be told as a short film in 30 minutes or that left a lot of room for additional story creation, yet at the same time's it's slow pace and sad melancholy allows for the very deep complex and delicate themes to work its way down and make it a little bit easier to ease into it. Bottom-line is that here we have a C-story-line that is being told as an A-story-line with all the emotional subtleties and the quiet/slow timing that a C-story-line require. Definitely an existential film that questions the process of reinvention of the self and the how much control you have given the influence of external factors (including your own addictions – aka addiction to another person) and co-dependency on a certain reality that you have come to depend upon as "real". The film's biggest flaw is that it was classified as a Science Fiction rather than Experimental or Surreal. While watching I was reminded of the firs translation I ever read of Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth, which has been seen as the first Science Fiction novel ever written. Also, similar to this film, it lacked a definitely story definition, but rather presented the "experience of" a certain journey. I would, for myself, give this film an 9 star rating, but down this to 7, because I think that in presentation, it does not allow itself to reach as wide an audience as it could.

charles000 Apparently, some reviewers may seem to think this is some sort of techno futurist art statement film piece, probing an uncharted realm suggested by parallel existence pathways in an emergent world.But wait . . .Before heralding this latest film as probing new uncharted territory, not so fast.Much of this same concept was remarkably well done (much better than via "Identicals" in various ways, at least in my opinion), in the Rock Hudson film "Seconds", circa 1966.Identicals does deserve some credit for its stylistic motif, a uniquely strange mix of future and retro tech ambiance, and the lovely Nora-Jane No one is quite fun to watch as Nadia . . . but still, this film just doesn't quite fit all the pieces together well enough to deliver its entire message coherently.I certainly don't mind the time spent to watch this, as visually and aesthetically it's an interesting bit of filmcraft, but this could have been so much more, like a seed planted promising a magnificent flower, but ever quite reaching full blossom.
