    Dead Ringers

    ★★★½

    A darkly psychosexual take on the unbreakable bond and separation anxiety of identical twins. As much as this is about the relationship of two characters, because they are one in the same its very much a singular character study and its interesting to see Cronenberg play with these two ideas of using the Mantle twins as separate entities in the beginning and as one singular entity by the end.
