Leave your thoughts about Brothers of the Head.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerGianni TruzziIt's pretty weird stuff, and filmmakers Keith Fulton and Luis Pepe embrace it with a layer of cinematic gauze that builds a pounding energy to this hypnotic twisting of rock legend. |
| Reel.comPam GradyThis dark and sometimes blackly humorous drama, told cinema vérité style, is of a different intent, and miles away from the type of comedy normally associated with that word. |
| SalonAndrew O'HehirIt's terrific! Shot by the brilliant cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle ("Dogville," "28 Days Later," etc.) and anchored by amazing performances from identical (but not conjoined) twins Harry and Luke Treadaway, Brothers of the Head is not a freak show, or a knockoff "Rocky Horror" camp celebration. It's a work of powerful atmosphere and significant mystery. Plus, it rocks. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe twins are played by 19-year-old real-life brothers Luke and Harry Treadaway. They're sexy, touching and macabre, and you can't keep your eyes off them. |
| Hollywood.comMichael SzymanskiNo doubt one of the weirdest, most off-beat movies you can see all year, and with a rocking soundtrack. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsThe trouble, at last, isn't testosterone or loss of control or even exploitation. It's the join, the difference and the sameness, the show. And it's unending. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenA fake documentary that barely lets on that its fiction, this devilishly clever film tells the story of conjoined twins who create a minor sensation in Britain on the eve of punk rock. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasBrothers isn't nearly as haunting and singular as "Last Days," because the faux-documentary format too closely mirrors the Behind The Music trajectory of a thousand other rock-band flameouts. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenA work of terrific imagination, visceral punch and gothic beauty. |
| CinematicalJette KernionThe edgy humor and oddly compelling lead characters make it well worth seeing. |
