Review of The Skeleton Twins (2014) by James C — 31 Dec 2015
Whoever stuck this movie in the comedy genre is an idiot, this is not a comedy and the fleeting moments of levity do more to show the contrast than anything else. Great performances by both Wig and Hader draw you into their characters messy lives with ease.
An emotionally intimate film that attempts to explore some dark subject matter (suicide, infidelity, among others) it pretty succeeds in bringing these subjects under the microscope without ever telling you how to think or feel about them.
The laughs break up the otherwise fairly grim plot and feel natural and not at all out of place in the hands of comedy vets Wig and Hader. Check it out.
