The right balance between comedy and drama, a knife away from flirting with disaster, especially when the topic of depression and suicide. American independent director Craig Johnson, fortunately, good talent on his side for his third film The Skeleton Twins, some savvy casting and a script of mind makes it a pleasure for the unexpected public.
After Milo (Hader) has attempted suicide, her twin sister Maggie (Wiig) invites him to stay at home with her husband Lance (Wilson). Over time it is on the basis it is clear that Maggie is also a victim of a similar attack, but after ten years he alienated, feel free to mutually open. But as brothers, they begin to discover the comfort of their shared past and their relationship begins to slowly heal as they find solace in each other's company.
With echoes of the 2012 Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook, Johnson succeeds certainly problems more mental health experts. There is a subtlety here that, as entertaining as it was friendly, the Playbook might be a little lacking. This is mainly due to the fantastic performances, especially Hader and Wiig, whose hit comedy chops to serve them well (they have great chemistry), but are also better able to deal with the drama. Hader in particular shines as a slightly manic gay brother who constantly judge others, but are reluctant to be seen whether judge. Heartbreaking and hilarious, poignant and inspiring; Twins skeleton is sure to be a highlight of the festival to be. If you are not able to catch up this weekend, then you certainly need when general release to see.
