Is maturity learning to forgive people who have screwed you over? Sometimes, if it's deserved. Do you forgive people who just say sorry? And you know they don't mean it? Do you forgive people who even though they are suppose to have your back choose to abandon you and use you? I think this film asked viewers to be masochistic. It asks us to allow people to use us and throw us away. The acting was ok. I could do without the black/white. What happens when those people repeat the same action again? Do you forgive them again because that's the adult thing to do? That's not adulting! That's being a doormat. If this were the other way around, would we demand the woman to be an "adult" and forgive her FIANCE? I doubt it. I wanted to stop watching this movie about halfway through. But I pushed myself to the finish line, even though I already hated it because I wanted to have an informed opinion, but it never redeemed itself. It doesn't show reality; it instead pushed the agenda that one should be a doormat. My question is, when is "I'm sorry" not acceptable anymore? When do you just walk away and say the pain isn't worth it? Do you allow yourself to be trampled once or twice or 17 times? What number represents being an adult? The movie misses the point that nobody is an adult. NOBODY. We say, act like an adult all the time because it's all illusion. The concept of adult is a social construct that forces people to be productive members of society. If this is the case, then going to college, getting the safe job, marrying a nice woman, having 2.5 kids, and a white picket fence is adulting. Don't! Take the risk to try something new because that wouldn't be the adult thing to do. What should gay men and women do? The adult thing to do for all the gays in the past would be to just be an adult and stay in the closet. The adult thing to do would be for women to just continue to be property. "Adult" is a narrative we project to the world. Paying bills on time and talking care of your "responsibilities" is just shit you have to get done. People can do that, but still not be "adults". Your kids are fed and clothed and you spend time with them. You pay your bills on time and arrive to work on time. But you could be, I don't know, cheating on your wife, or spending money on a dumb online game. Someone will say, the adult thing to do is be true to your commitments and to save that money for a rainy day. But that person saying it, I'm sure, is hiding their own bullshit. We can say that, well the movie is showing one perspective on adulting. If this is the case, would leaving those cheating bastards behind also be another perspective? If this is the case, why write the movie this way? In then end, I'm just left pissed off and I feel dirty thinking I'm being asked to be a doormat.

The beginning of the film begins slowly introducing two aimless young twins--brothers. Over the course of events, both realize they need to take steps toward maturity--reaching for relationships outside family boundaries. The lack of boundaries leads to an interesting turn of events and forces one of the twins to accelerate the walk toward full maturity. In the aftermath, the stable twin begins a downward spiral which destabilizes the delicate equilibrium with the new relationship and the brother. It is interesting to watch how the relationship deconstructs and how the brothers deal.

Realy like this movie from music sound track which is great to acting, intense drama, unique and then from sexy to really hot - intising that awakens the senses. A real "film noire" if you what that is? For those who knows about this kind of film rather than a movie will appreciate the genre (style) of film it is. I had not since leaving NYC 18 months ago had seen a movie like this a real little chef d'oeuvre really love it. To all participants of this film chapeau to you. A real nice crafted film noire by the director.

After 30 minutes and not finding a single redeeming quality in any character I gave up. If everyone moved to another city and were never seen again, I couldn't care less. This is how bad the character development is. The acting is almost tolerable, the script and plot sucked.

I watched this film twice because I was intrigued by what tragedy caused all the angst in this narrative (and I'm still not sure-did the twins die in childbirth or did they die by some accident sometime later?--didn't Patrick say something about cpr in trying to save them?--I have a hearing problem and the captions ran by so fast that I would miss important dialogue!). Also, I was surprised that Steve Molony actually played both twins I thought they were two actors who looked amazingly alike! They were clever to distinguish them apart by one of the 'twins' wearing a ring on his right hand. Now, my critique : Acting was excellent; narrative was excellent and the directing was top-drawer. In fact, this film would make any mainstream movie take second notice, all accomplished with a small budget! I wouldn't mind seeing this followed up with a sequel (the ending seemed open-ended) with all the same actors.. I recommend this film as a winner! (BTW;(again my hearing!) does Patrick hint they were sexually abused and had therapy for homosexuality--prison visit by his mother?>)

I hated everything about it... especially the ending. Very disturbing movie.

Liked the film noir atmospherics and character development to a point... kinda disoriented about what this is all about. Did some Committee from the U.S. Congress write it? Or is it so esoteric that it is meant to be over the heads of us deplorables?

I found myself fast forwarding and then moving backward, since the same actor played two identical twins — one with poorer hygiene I suppose since he couldn't find a razor prior to most scenes — but I could not keep the brothers straight. The acting was excellent, but... I felt sad about the characters generally.

It was such an odd pseudo "tragedy" with no real explanation or hubris to begin with unless it is a parasitical life style... Laziness is, but it's not a sin in the context of this plot. My sadness also was a reaction to the characters themselves... they seemed rudderless and trapped in do-loops of indecision. Perhaps they were also in search of an actual plot or moral lesson? If this film had a country, it would be called Meander. If you like downers, welcome! Being positive, which we should strive to be even for movie critiques, the acting ranges from well done to excellent and the film technique was noir, doom-like, and well edited.

Great movie. A little atypical which kept me entertained even with my short attention span.
