Skeleton Twins was...unexpected.
Despite what the trailers might have you believe, this is not a comedy, and the fleeting moments of levity do more to show a masking of pain than anything else. Great performances by both Wig and Hader draw you into their character's messy lives and keep you invested.
Skeleton Twins is an intimate film that attempts to explore some dark subject matter like suicide, infidelity, and others. It succeeds in bringing these subjects under the microscope without ever telling you how to think or feel about them. The laughs break up the tone and feel like natural outbursts in the course of life thanks to the veteran chops of comedy vets Wig and Hader. Check it out.
8/10 More than it appears.
