A pair of twins hitchhiking to their mother's funeral in Spain find their innocent journey taking an unexpectedly ominous turn as feelings of loathing, rivalry, and intimacy boil to the surface in director Pascal-Alex Vincent's melancholy drama. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Mike Hale, New York Times
The Carrils are so inexpressive and the script so sketchy that we never have much of a stake in figuring it out.
-
Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York
What's refreshing about Pascal-Alex Vincent's dramatically thin but richly atmospheric feature debut is that it recognizes the essential truth of the conceit: all seminal voyages are journeys of heightened awareness, as visceral as they are emotional.
-
Nicolas Rapold, Village Voice
It's usually a dangerous sign when a director casting about for an idea gets fascinated by twins.
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
When the French are pretentious, the word gets a whole new meaning.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
With its meandering, unfocussed narrative, this sometimes feels more like beautiful moving wallpaper than an actual film. But even without much plot, it's a fascinating exploration of identity.
