Jonathan

Jonathan ist ein Science-Fiction-Spielfilm des Regisseurs Bill Oliver. Das Drehbuch schreiben Gregory Davis und Peter Nickowitz… Jonathan und John sind Brüder, aber sie teilen denselben Körper. Das Leben war für sie beide Routine, aber alles begann sich zu verändern… Eine faszinierende Idee, die gut in eine Geschichte (Drehbuch) verpackt ist. Und Bill Oliver inszenierte sie eher nachdenklich und einfühlsam… Ansel Elgort setzt sie eindrucksvoll in Szene mit einer perfekten Charakterentwicklung…

The plot of this film is unique. Elgort hits the right balance of sadness and desperation. Give it a try.

Took me a while to find this on Rotten Tomatoes as the title on Prime Australia is actually Duplicate (not Jonathan). Interesting concept and it does explore some issues that make you think about the challenges faced by the main character(s) - felt like it spent too much time being "one-sided", but understand the reason for it. Was a little anti-climatic - I think they could've made the ending more dramatic to reflect the final conclusion to the struggle throughout the movie. Good acting made the story believable - it was worth watching - enough to keep me interested for 90mins.

Super interesting concept and storyline. I was intrigued at the beginning, and that feeling stayed with me the whole time. Ansel did a good job with this duality; the role of the doctor was also well played. I was not a huge fan of some of the film's downtime, it was a satisfying ending, though.

This movie was like a thought-provoking extended episode of Black Mirror. Worth watching.

This film blew me away, so much so that I signed up on Rotten Tomatoes to give it the five stars it deserves. It's very low key and eerie, thanks in part to the music. I love the concept of two very different personalities sharing one body in shifts. It's a little like multiple personalities, except they're on a fixed schedule. The lead actor gives an amazing performance. I plan to watch it again asap. Currently available on Netflix.

Overall, Duplicate (aka "Jonathan") brings a creative and welcome concept to the screen with a thumbs up performance by actor Ansel Elgort. But the film has bland characters and an editing style which disappointed me. The film's ending also felt weak compared the film's build up. Also, this isn't a sci-fi film despite what the film's poster would lead you to believe. 3.6/10 - Walkden Entertainment

An intriguing idea that is executed smartly but as the story goes, you can only go so far. An awesome performance from Elgort

A never seen out theme, catches you at the end, with you understanding everything. The independencd film production makes it audiovisually amazing

The script is original, but the movie's problems are a combination of Ansel Elgort's acting performance, the editing and the overall boredom. 4/10
