Successful architect Jeremiasz Angust is approached on his trip to the Paris Airport by a chatty girl called Texel Textor. She is a strange young woman who seems to be looking for captive victims whom she forces to listen to her strange stories. Jeremy loses the flight because of Texel and once they are installed in the lounge area, he will not be able to get rid of the annoying stranger. Although the meeting seems fortuitous, soon there be a turn that will transform the character of that encounter into something much more sinister and criminal.

Maíllo, making his English-language debut, effortlessly sustains the tension and sprinkles in some dinky visual touches...

3/5

An interesting adaptation of Amélie Nothomb's novel that falters towards the end, but, all in all, it's an extremely enjoyable tour de force between the protagonists. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

One of those psychological thrillers that builds up so slowly that it doesn't even look like a thriller at first.

3/5

We knew the gimmick, deployed in recent times by film fiction magicians such as Fincher, Lynch or Polanski... the story works again. [Full review in Spanish]

A Perfect Enemy keeps a certain level of suspense, but too much of this psychological thriller is undone by subpar acting, dialogue that rambles, and a sluggish pace during the middle of the movie. The movie's ending is a big disappointment.

1/5

Ridiculous excuse for a thriller - obvious, preposterous, ultimately banal - piles on psychological absurdities as it builds from a maddening middle to an enraging crescendo of misogynist nonsense.
