A must see!! This comedy is dark and intelligent, with Parker Posey at her best (I think she's at her best a lot though). The premise involves a family including a mother, adult fraternal twins (a boy and girl), and another younger son. They are a wealthy family who live down the street from the Kennedy's. It is clear that the children grew up with many advantages, but something just isn't quite right. It becomes quickly apparent that the twin sister is one of those things. Her twin brother is bringing home a fiance' for Thanksgiving, and no one has broken the news to his fragile twin sister; who happens to be in incestuously in love with him.
This movie is a great psychiatry in film movie, especially if you focus on the family dynamics. Look at each relationship to identify the boundaries that have been poorly established. This film is a lesson in looking beyond the identified patient. There seem to be major personality disorders throughout and alleged Axis I problems. If you like dark humor, then you'll find yourself in the floor multiple times.
