Stine and Teit, your average urban middle-class artists and intellectuals, leave Copenhagen for the wilds of neighbouring Sweden’s forest. Soon, they find out that something is strange there – most disturbingly – when their son Nemo suddenly thinks his mother isn’t really his mother anymore. It becomes clear once Stine and Teit discover that they have neighbours who look exactly like them – mirror images made flesh and blood. The subject of reflections and doubles is introduced in the film’s first shot: a view of a lake landscape turned 90° so that the water’s surface runs vertically through the image’s centre. Only once the shot gets tilted is it revealed which side mirrors which. Later, a mother and child are reflected in a glass door. However, this is not your doppelganger thriller of the gothic variety. Note the title: in physics, superposition means (per Merriam-Webster) "the combination of two distinct physical phenomena of the same type (such as spin or wavelength) so that they coexist as part of the same event". This is more a metaphysical meditation towards the realisation that none of us is ever alone, but also never unique. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)

Une excellente métaphore pour le redémarrage réussi d’une relation qui bat de l’aile ! Il suffit simplement de tuer quelque chose en nous pour pouvoir aller de l’avant avec un nouveau « Nous ». La solution technique que Karoline Lyngbye a trouvée ici pourrait faire l’objet d’une invention phénoménale. Lorsque, avant la projection, la réalisatrice a avoué son admiration pour les films de David Lynch ou pour Enemy de Villeneuve (son meilleur film, selon moi), qui traitent du dédoublement de la personnalité, personne dans la salle ne se doutait à quel point elle allait nous amener au niveau de ces œuvres. Son Superposition est un jeu schizophrénique psychologiquement raffiné dans lequel se reconnaîtront tous ceux qui ont vécu la rupture d’une relation. [Festival du film de Sitges]

This internationally praised slowburn thriller-drama is not really a horror film, so don't be fooled. For me it's another boring, slow and uninteresting crap that pretends to be a clever mindfuck. The story focuses on a couple who leave the city for an isolated forest thinking they'll enjoy a quiet life alone, only to soon discover they're not entirely alone – I can't reveal more. In the first half I was still quite, it has such a disturbing atmosphere and the clash itself is quite interesting, but after that the film goes nowhere. Visually it's also a pretty cheap piece of work, the acting is bland, the pacing is slow, so it's not rewarding for the audience, and there's no violence, suspense or anything downright escalating either. Too bad, the Danes can definitely do better. 4/10.

A nicely conceived premise that they unfortunately failed to fully exploit. The acting and directing are rather bland and they let that potentially powerful, cynical twist the film was clearly heading towards to slip through their fingers, and instead, the film eventually fizzles out into nothingness.
