Alter Ego

Alter Ego (2026) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Laurent Lafitte plays Alex, a quiet, unremarkable man in his forties whose life hums along pleasantly enough — until new neighbours move in next door. The husband is Alex's exact double. Same face, same build, same everything. Except he has hair.

That detail alone sends Alex into a slow spiral. The neighbour is charming, sharp, and apparently everything Alex is not. The more Alex watches him, the deeper the obsession goes — and the harder it gets to tell what's envy, what's paranoia, and what might actually be true. Olga Kurylenko and Blanche Gardin co-star. Directed by Nicolas Charlet and Bruno Lavaine.

A precise, funny French comedy about the particular torture of meeting someone who appears to be a better version of you. Stream Alter Ego (2026) online on iFILM.
