Starring: Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Luke Wilson
Rating: A-
This is a great feel good movie, although I can see how it might be depressing to some. However, this is my kind of movie. There are troubled characters who are trying to sort out and work through their lives. There is a deeply rooted dynamic that needs to be re-examined and redefined. There are secrets and deceptions. In the end things work out, but that is not to say that it works out the way everyone thinks it should.
This is a movie about people who are lost and are looking for each other to help ground themselves. They need each other because without that other person, the twin, their lives just don't make as much sense. They're not fulfilled. This movie is for anyone who has ever felt like they're missing something, someone who would understand them, often without question.
This movie is also about how some people seem like they are put together and successful, but are falling apart on the inside. The sibling who appears to have it all together isn't the one who is always the most stable. The facade will always crack in some way, revealing the deteriorated foundation.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie for its darkness, surprises, sorrow, and pure joy.
