Our take
Under the direction of her life and creative partner Andrucha Waddington, Fernanda Torres enthrals in the dual role of mischievous twins, whose childlike games of deception turn macabre. As disorienting as a corridor of mirrors, this warped tale of sisterhood trembles to the seismic force of desire.
