Movies like Alter Ego

“Alter Ego (2026) is a 2020s French dark-comedy psychological-thriller that stages a compact mirror-game of identity and envy. It sets that private crisis against measured slow-burn pacing and high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting so the domestic becomes claustrophobic and uncanny. The film argues that performative selves and small social advantages can recalibrate intimacy and self-worth in contemporary French life.”
