Two severely depressed twins, who haven't spoken in ten years, reunite to find a twisted sort of comfort within each other. Amidst all the slit wrists, pill-popping, pedophilia and various other dark topics, there's a surprising amount of funny warmth that never feels out of place. It's not slapstick funny but more like sharing awkward jokes with your loved ones in the darkest of times, something I think we're all too familiar with but never speak of outside the moment. The story steers way off track for awhile and hurts the film as a whole. It's not a great movie and I wish it were better because I'm really quite fond of it.
