Bucking Fastard
Two sisters, Jean and Joan Holbrooke, are so close to each other that they speak in unison, love the same man, and have the same dreams. They even make the same slip of tongue in unison. We cannot see the world as they see it, but we do see how the world reacts to them – through the courts and the press, through those that want to help and those who want to use them, through the eyes of beasts both tame and wild, and even through their own echoes in the core of the earth.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyMost people liked this weird, dreamy film about the Holbrooke sisters, Jean and Joan, who share a life and a man. It's a definite love-it-or-hate-it thing, with the direction by Werner Herzog being the main talking point. Kate and Rooney Mara's performances as the twins are widely praised and carry the film, while Orlando Bloom's character gets a lot of criticism. A small but loud minority really hated a specific threesome scene. Overall, it's a positive, actor-driven experience with a divisive, polarizing style.
