Fulton and Pepe's double-headed head trip is mostly drab gray matter.

Reviews for Brothers of the Head
Rock on, but be prepared to be left just a bit frustrated by the near-greatness this perplexing film almost achieves.
08/20/06
Undermined by its form: strange as it ought to be, the mockumentary conventions of the movie make everything strangely familiar.
08/18/06
Top CriticThe Treadaways are terrific and comedy finds an umbilical link to tragedy.
08/18/06
The saga is presented, despite the absurdities, as the absolute truth. You find yourself believing, wanting to believe. After all, despite the extremes, it could happen, maybe even did happen.
08/18/06
It's knowledgeable about the dynamics of a band, about the conventions of documentaries and about how complicated sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll would be if you shared a liver.
08/17/06
A narratively lurid, visually leering piece that revels in its strangeness and is more likely to put you off than pull you in.
08/16/06
It's two-thirds of one of the year's best movies.
08/12/06
... very odd and clever film ...
08/12/06
... the story of British conjoined twins turned underground punk-rock tragic figures can't be ignored, if not for the ingenious way of disguising truth, then for the unsettling presentation of human emotions.
08/12/06
Methinks it might have connected better as a narrative piece...
08/10/06
...despite outlandish subject matter that might lend itself to something more lurid or camp, it treats its characters and their story with refreshing restraint and seriousness.
08/05/06
Pepe and Fulton seem to have mastered a certain ability to capture a time period while being authentic both to its trends and their style.

We don't really care about these people, who are for the most part unlikeable. That goes for the Howe twins, too.
08/04/06
So cleverly constructed that it's easy to be taken in and believe these twins really rocked.
08/04/06
Top CriticA provocative but oddly unsatisfying film experiment.
08/04/06
Top CriticAll the artiness on hand can't conceal the familiar raucous sound of the carnival barker outside.
08/04/06
Top CriticIt's the songs ... that give the movie its emotional ballast, countering the filmmakers' intellectualized approach and meta-narrative style.
08/04/06
Top CriticSelf-consciously strange and surprisingly haunting.
