What a powerful movie. It's one of those films where, when it's over you say to yourself, "What just hit me?!" It stars Bill Hader? and Kristen Wiig, two former SNL alum. And while it's certainly offbeat, it's not really a comedy in the traditional sense. Milo (Hader) is a struggling actor eking out a living in L.A. The film opens with him attempting suicide while his twin sister Maggie (Wiig) contemplating the same thing, gets a call from the hospital explaining what happened. She brings him back east with her and the two reconnect after not communicating for ten years. The siblings have major issues with their lives they've been brushing under the rug for years.The film does have some funny moments, but also some heavy duty scenes as well. It's one of those movies that sort of sneek up on you, and by the end, you almost feel like you're part of the family.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars
