Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014) by Spangle — 14 Mar 2016
The Skeleton Twins is a really endearing, funny, and emotional film on the realistic struggles faced by two siblings. Starring Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, the acting here is very good and helps with the authentic feeling of the film.
An incredibly sensitive and touching film, The Skeleton Twins manages to touch on topics such as marriage, depression, infidelity, and just general struggles as you get older, especially when you grow in distance from your family.
Well-written and well directed, The Skeleton Twins is a delightful little indie film that is both entertaining and incredibly mature. It really never steps on the breaks, instead opting to continue pushing through the various family drama elements it touches on and, as such, the film can be quite emotionally draining.
Fortunately, the jokes do lighten the mood considerably. Overall, The Skeleton Twins is a good film that is more than worth your time.
