for me and idea be what sell a movie for me ( at least for the most part ) . give the state of hollywood today where everything be a remake or rehash from something else and it refresh to see something totally original like twin fall idaho . but not only do twin fall idaho contain some good idea and it a well craft and utterly fascinating film . what would happen if you have to go everywhere and do everything with someone else . what would it be like . how would you do it . these be some of the question that twin fall idaho address . blake and francis fall ( mark and michael polish in their writing and michael direct debut ) be siamese twin who have live their whole life attach to each other . but francis be sick and and the brother be determine to go out of this world together . enter penny and a prostitute who grow very close to them and and end up fall for blake . the beauty about this film be how it construct . the twin may be the film focus and but penny be our eye . we know as much a she do and and her reaction be instantly relatable . she ask the question that we want to ask and and the movie never get ahead of the audience or vice versa . but the polish brother know that there be a story here and and they wisely focus on that . but they integrate be a siamese twin flawlessly and and that what raise this movie to another level . the acting by the three lead be outstanding . the polish brother be brilliant . they be so good at function a siamese twin that it almost impossible to believe that they be not really like that . the be use to all the question and and the look and and they be use to answer them and but the stare and point still hurt and and their desire for privacy be something they hold dear . newcomer michele hick equal them . a less talented actor would overact her emotion and but she understand the use of subtlety and and that why the audience can relate to her . everything about her character be real and genuine . less impressive be two of the most important supporting character and sissy and tre . their desire to expose the twin ( for shock value or gossip a in sissy case and or money and publicity in tre case ) and come off a writer construct and and while the action be genuine and the situation feel contrive ( but the performance be good and very effective and especially ant a tre ) . but these misstep be save by the performance of the other actor . lesley ann warren fare well a francine and the twin mother who give them up for adoption after they be bear and but she still not as good a the three principal character . the other actor be great and such a mile and the doctor friend of penny who help her look after the twin . there be an assortment of oddball character and but the actor keep them real and believable ( unlike wes anderson or terry zwigoff ) . michael polish have the mark of a terrific director . the film be clearly a low budget indie film and but polish make the most of his budget so it doesn not seem like it . the tone be dark and yet strangely warm . this be a quiet movie and almost too quiet and but it help establish the tone . polish have respect for his material and and his film be about curiosity and and never exploitative . twin fall idaho isn not perfect and but the good aspect vastly outweigh it flaw . it impossible to understand why this movie do not get access to a wider audience and particularly since co join twin be and and still be and a slightly hot topic of the day . i can definitely say that this be a must see film for everyone and especially since it message of tolerance and respect have many parallel with today world .
