This is probably one of the weirdest film I’ve ever seen. Its horror comes from quiet psychological decay. The parasitic co-dependency between the brothers feels doomed from the start, like two identities slowly consuming each other. Their bond isn’t love, it’s entrapment, and the sterile atmosphere makes the collapse feel cold and inevitable rather than dramatic. The ending is foreseeable, but that predictability almost strengthens the tragedy because it feels like there was never another possible outcome. It’s disturbing less for what happens and more for how calmly the film watches identity, sanity, and intimacy rot in slow motion.

Final FODIDO, indignação prolongada. Honestamente, tudo que beba da fonte de relações fora do comum e de natureza dúbia, irmandade, codependencia e autodestruição consciente por conta disso me deixa facilmente envolvida, ainda mais quando se mistura um pouco de tudo. Tô encantada na forma que o Cronenberg entrelaça e desenrola a sutilidade de uma dependência à outra entre os irmãos. Meu favorito dele até agora e catalisador pra Querer me aprofundar no trabalho dele de verdade. #Uau #ProcessandoAinda

My gf would say something like “TO ME I would NEVER see a male gynecologist”

Zero chemistry between Jeremy Irons and Geneviève Bujold. They made up for this with the electric chemistry between Jeremy Irons and Jeremy Irons.

i finished this and i’m sitting here, not shaken, not bored, just weirdly numb. this feels like watching a very slow, very elegant nervous breakdown in real time. it’s not loud or chaotic, it’s sterile, clinical, and deeply sad.

jeremy irons is the whole movie. like, truly carrying the entire weight of it with these subtle shifts between the twins. it’s impressive, but also kind of exhausting. at some point i couldn’t tell if i was confused by the characters or if the movie wanted me to be. either way, it made me feel like i was losing my mind a little, which i guess is the point.

the thing is, i admire what this is doing. it’s about obsession and identity and codependency in a way that’s really unique. but it also kind of kept me at a distance. the horror is psychological, abstract, internal and i found myself wishing it would just crack open a little more.
