Brothers of the Head


A strange little mockumentary. Not what I was lead to expect, I thought it was going to be a comedy, and it was far from it. Its the story of some conjoined twins who are taken into a band and turned into the front men as a sort of gimmick until it turns out they are really good.

The first ten minutes are not good, nothing happening, I didn't know where it was going, but after the 15 minute mark it started to pick up. The gimmick of them being conjoined was less a gimmick and more the central theme and conflict of these two separate people who are forced to be one, and couldn't survive literally with out the other, played very well by Harry and Luke Treadaway. So much of the struggle with the two of them is internalized, and alluded to, but never fully said. As each minute went by it was getting better and better. So at the start I really wasn't liking it, but by the end I thought it was very good. Needed some work here and there, but overall was very different than I would have expected.

Overall it gets a 7/10 stars. Not for everyone, strange and sad, very introverted.
