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 nightlyPeople mostly liked this weird, artsy film about the unnaturally close Holbrooke sisters, Jean and Joan, with the Mara sisters' committed performances as the clear highlight. The movie's unique, almost mythical perspective, where we see how the world reacts to the twins rather than seeing through their eyes, is praised for its originality. That said, the story itself left many feeling a bit cold and disconnected, and the supporting performances, particularly Orlando Bloom's as Gareth Mulroney, are seen as weak links. A vocal few really hated the infamous threesome scene, but overall it's seen as a fascinating, well-acted curiosity.
