About

You’ll likely enjoy this intense, character-driven twin story if you want heavy emotional stakes and standout performances; Not for you if you prefer lighter viewing, quick pacing, or uplifting themes, like with Scenes from a Marriage or Broken.

Pros: phenomenal twin performances; powerful emotional drama; authentic early-1990s backdrop | Cons: extremely depressing tone; slow and hard to watch; relentless suffering
