What makes it so haunting is the sensitivity to its lead characters and their unusual plight.

shares its themes with Dead Ringers and A Zed & Two Noughts, even if it is not as disturbing as the former, as downright weird as the latter, or as intelligent as either.

Shares some themes with Lynch's The Elephant Man.

The Polish brothers make an auspicous debut, and establish a tone -- like it or not, they've delivered on it since then.

Audience Reviews for Twin Falls Idaho

Is an unusual movie. Its true, what you remember after the movie ends is the twins whispering in each other's ears.

Not a bad movie. The twins were fun to watch. Overall I don't give it more because I didn't connect with anyone, and I felt like I was supposed be emotional at the end and wasn't.
