which Drew Barrymore film is better? - Blu-ray Forum

trashedtreasure · 04-17-2020, 01:36 PM

between far from home (1989) and doppelganger (1993) which would be considered the better film and why? both seem to be competently acted and the story is engaging while i'm giving a slight edge to doppelganger due to the ending being so bizarre.

In terms of geographical location? Or relating to the films? As I stated how I feel about both films however I’m sort of torn between the 2 if I HAD to choose

Gosh, I don't know. They're both just so good.

I just watched Doppelganger again the other day on cable, and I'll give to Far From Home. I like both films, but I've always felt some of her lines in Doppelganger were a bit forced in their delivery. Very wooden. It's like she's trying too hard to be stern. She's projects as so serious, that the dialogue feels a bit stilted to me. I just don't think she has it in her to play angry and detached very well. It just doesn't seem like a component of her personality, from what I know of her other roles and performances.

And as much as I love them, I never thought I'd be having a critical debate about either of these.

Never saw doppelgänger but watched FFH a few times when it hit cable back in the day and loved it. Haven’t seen it since at least 1990 but would gladly pick up a blu if there ever was one
