  Manages to overcome its freak show premise with a serious look at a conjoined twins' struggle with life.

  I really like the music in this film, and the idea of conjoined-twin punk rockers is fairly unique to the faux-documentry genre. I wish there was a little more of a background story, it would have made for a deeper connection to the characters.

  The worst ruination of an awesome premise since David Cronenberg's Crash. You couldn't make a more dull film on purpose. Seriously, all I can remember about this movie is that it has conjoined twins in it, and you can see that from the front of the goddamn DVD case. Also,… More
  The worst ruination of an awesome premise since David Cronenberg's Crash. You couldn't make a more dull film on purpose. Seriously, all I can remember about this movie is that it has conjoined twins in it, and you can see that from the front of the goddamn DVD case. Also, there's one scene where they throw a brick at someone, and a scene where they make out at a photoshoot which was probably the most entertaining thing in the whole movie. But all of this is just...numbing. Styleless. Mirthless. A God-awful waste of time.

  I was anticipating seeing this movie for eons and was glad that I waited. The atmosphere makes it appear to be based on a true story...so I was a little shocked to find out it was based on a book instead. The story of two siamese twins plucked from their quiet country life and plunged into the music business. Their father practically signs them off to a label despite the sister's protests. It is a dark, gritty, sometimes painful but also extremely beautiful in all its strangeness. The music itself is raw and full of human emotion as they turn their anger for the world into song. As I'm quite biased when it comes to IFC films [as in I love almost all of them...], it may not be just for anyone. Regardless, I do think you lot should check it out...just don't expect sunshine and lollipops.

The usual reason to make a documentary is to impart knowledge but here the verite style just keeps the viewers at an emotional distance from the characters. And except for some brief commentary on the music business, most of the other thematic material concerning twins had already been covered in "Dead Ringers" and "Twin Falls Idaho." Otherwise, this is a gorgeously shot film; nails the period detail perfectly; rings true and has a couple of nice touches including the opening sequence and the inclusion of Ken Russell. [/font]

  Oh boy...another band film this time with conjoined twins. It still doesn't do it for me.

• William G

  
  Realistic to impressive and sometimes grating effect, but what's the point?
