Plot: Having both coincidentally cheated death on the same day, estranged twins reunite with the possibility of mending their relationship.
Cast: Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Luke Wilson, Boyd Holbrook, Ty Burrell
Review: It's about twins reuniting again after 10 years of not seeing each other when one unsuccessfully tries to commit suicide. The chemistry between Wiig and Hader is magical. It feels honest. Did I say I love them at SNL. Favorites. It's great seeing them in a pretty serious role especially Bill since you normally see him doing comedies. *spoiler* Hader plays a gay guy here and did an excellent job. I'm very impressed. Kristen Wiig is spot on as always.
It's kind of a depressing drama but you can't take away the comedy from these two. There's a lot of darkness in the story also. We see suicide attempts, depression and adultery. Although it's not the focus of the story, it still revolves around how the twins reconnected and how real these problems are. I think this movie is well-written. Very fine performance from the actors. It's not perfect, sure it has flaws but whatever I enjoyed it.
I recommend it.
Rating: ★★★★★★
