Elliot, a successful gynecologist, works at the same practice as his identical twin, Beverly. Elliot is attracted to many of his patients and has affairs with them. When he inevitably loses interest, he will give the woman over to Beverly, the meeker of the two, without the woman knowing the difference. Beverly falls hard for one of the patients, Claire, but when she inadvertently deceives him, he slips into a state of madness.

The movie comes full circle psychologically at the end. You are left with something thought provoking and sad. Irons performance is incredible.

I skipped it in the 80s for a reason. Could've lived longer not watching it. Jeremy Irons did an excellent role though.

“Dead Ringers” sees a more restrained Cronenberg stepping away from most of his usual body horror tropes to focus on brooding psychodrama. The intentions are good, but unfortunately, the movie itself came out as rather pretentious and naive. It's not terrible, but it could have been so much more. Still worth being remembered for the sexy red gowns and Jeremy Irons’ performance.

Sheer brilliance. Deep down, EVERYONE has a love/hate thing about identical twins. On the one side, they wish they had that kind of communion with someone, that sort of magical intimacy they share, having someone basically the exact same as themselves...yet that same one-of-a-kind companionship is s More

David Cronenberg reveals himself to be a total pseud. "Our identities blur together. We are one soul." Give me a break
