It is a pretty fun movie. I'd give it 8/10, certainly.
Richard Ayoade follows his celebrated debut feature Submarine with this sharply scripted adaptation of a Dostoyevsky novella, an ingenious black comedy that bristles with invention. Jesse Eisenberg plays lonely Simon James, a put upon office lackey whose timidity only sees him belittled by bureaucracy at his place of work, derided by his ailing mother and ignored by Hannah (Mia Wasikowska), the girl of his dreams who works on the office photocopier.
Things only get worse when James Simon, Simon James' doppelgänger, appears from nowhere. A gregarious, self confident mirror image of Simon, James is immediately accepted and appreciated by the people of Simon’s world, gaining significant rewards at his job and claiming women as easy conquests. As he witnesses Hannah being drawn into James’ orbit, Simon’s fragile grip on reality begins to loosen. (Notes by Michael Hayden.)

Read the Michel Faber novel - had no idea it had been made into a movie. Might have to give that a looking at myself.

Rating Advice: Contains infrequent strong sex and frequent nudity
Synopsis: Visually and aurally audacious and as slippery in form as its central character, Jonathan Glazer’s (Sexy Beast, Birth) elliptical sci-fi about an alien creature (Scarlett Johansson) who stalks down human prey is a brilliant amalgam of fantasy and reality. In a stunning early sequence of metamorphosis, the naked femme fatale dons the attire of her predecessor and goes out on the prowl in a non-descript van, effortlessly procuring not-so gullible lads from the backstreets of Glasgow and local highways and luring them into an unimaginable void. Through alien eyes, the world appears desolate, the men all hungry and wanting. Filmed on location in Scotland, where not all the male victims were knowing participants, the filmmaking recalls the realism of Ken Loach as much as the surrealism of David Lynch. Glazer has created an entirely distinctive film, both creepy and luminous in its metaphysical precision.

Excellent articles from Bob Rickard, Ted Harrison, et al, on The Excorcist and exorcism. After which, reading Theo Paijman's article on a historical case of German UFOnauts came as some welcome light relief. Nice to see the readers' letters contained some wacky stuff, as well.
Will there be another episode in the Phenomenomix Life of WB Yeats, I wonder.
Most informative and entertaining altogether.
