[tps_header]The Skeleton Twins[/tps_header]
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t being a bit biased in this last choice. Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader are probably two of my favorite performers to come out of Saturday Night Live. The evidence of their talent in the multitude of memorable characters they portrayed every Saturday night. The years of performing together created a bond like no other and that is apparent in their first film together. The indie darling, The Skeleton Twins, sees twins find each other after a decade of estrangement. Both devastating and hilarious, Hader and Wiig bring such rawness to these characters that realize that fixing their relationship might be a step in the right direction to fixing everything that went wrong in their lives. The brother, sister bond is real and demonstrated in the great chemistry Hader and Wiig have. The heart of the movie is when they are together and the way they play off each others’ performances create some of the greatest scenes in the film.
