Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 11 Sep 2014

The characters and their anxieties are for the most part nicely judged…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Ella Taylor (978) for NPR (1,713) on 11 Sep 2014

At its best, The Skeleton Twins exudes the vague unease of two putative grown-ups trying to stifle their awareness that the lives they've chosen…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 11 Sep 2014

The film is a mite tidy in that Sundance Workshop way, but it's very enjoyable, and Johnson has a deft touch with actors…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Kurt Loder (858) for Reason Online (497) on 11 Sep 2014

It's unusual to see two actors we've known for so long giving breakthrough performances. But that's what's happening here…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Thomas Lee (21) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 11 Sep 2014

The Skeleton Twins suffers from a glaring deficit. Suicide is ever present throughout the film, yet Johnson never seriously examines it…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Eric Kohn (1,203) for indieWire (3,631) on 11 Sep 2014

Judging by Johnson's previous feature, True Adolescence, he's better at crafting characters with credible problems than finding equally credible…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 11 Sep 2014

It seems unlikely that The Skeleton Twins is aiming for something so simplistic, considering how much suffering it packs into the story, but…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 10 Sep 2014

What raises the movie above the herd and rocks our settled ideas of pop entertainment is the way Hader and Wiig resist the script's pull to…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Stephen Holden (1,707) for The New York Times (9,847) on 10 Sep 2014

The Skeleton Twins is a well-written and acted movie about contemporary life that doesn’t strain for melodrama and is largely devoid of weepy…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Noah Gittell (113) for Washington City Paper (500) on 10 Sep 2014

The Skeleton Twins may be an imperfect film of simple pleasures, but it is eminently watchable…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Elizabeth Weitzman (1,905) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 10 Sep 2014

We already know Kristen Wiig can act…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 10 Sep 2014

When a film piles on this many problems for its characters, it's often because it doesn't really believe in any of them…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 10 Sep 2014

Worst of all, it stupidly ruins a perfectly decent 'Marley & Me' joke…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Dana Stevens (1,435) for Slate (2,081) on 10 Sep 2014

I found The Skeleton Twins merely entertaining, but I’d love to see these two actors team up again, Tracy-and-Hepburn style, and make a string…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for AV Club (2,778) on 10 Sep 2014

What saves the movie is its actors: Exploiting audience’s memories of their previous collaborations, Hader and Wiig really do seem related…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 10 Sep 2014

And it's too bad The Skeleton Twins settles for tidy, slightly hollow narrative developments. The performers are ready to rip…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for Movie Mezzanine (782) on 10 Sep 2014

A rickety vehicle for two fantastic performances, the movie works best as a blaring announcement that these players are more than ready for…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 10 Sep 2014

One of the better movies to come along this year…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 10 Sep 2014

This is only the second feature for the director: the first was True Adolescents. But Mr…

Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 09 Sep 2014
