Brothers of the Head Reviews
The twins are played by 19-year-old real-life brothers Luke and Harry Treadaway. They're sexy, touching and macabre, and you can't keep your eyes off them.

"Lost In La Mancha" directors Louis Pepe and Keith Fulton take a flailing mockumentary shot at a convoluted narrative about a pair of conjoined twins-turned-punk-rock-duo.
| Original Score: C- | Apr 21, 2009
| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 7, 2007
A punk Siamese-twins mock-biopic. Interested? File this one in the "could have sucked but didn't" drawer, these guys have crafted a pretty special film.
| Original Score: B+ | Jun 21, 2007
The edgy humor and oddly compelling lead characters make it well worth seeing.
| Original Score: 3.75/5 | Apr 8, 2007
Needed more to counter its "twin" shortcomings: the questionable gimmick and too much lousy music.
| Mar 1, 2007
Despite the odd moment of visual bravura, this mockumentary is too aware of its own satirical daring. Consequently, it's never as dark, dangerous or amusing as it thinks.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 6, 2006
The credible feel of this film-within-the-film remains an achievement; it's neither mocking nor parodic and nearly always deadly serious.
| Oct 5, 2006
Harry and Luke Treadaway give astonishing performances (or rather an astonishing performance), creating a believable physicality for their characters, as well as distinct personalities.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 5, 2006
Co-directors Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe have a gift for making fake footage look like the real deal. But they're not so hot when it comes to simulating human drama.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 3, 2006
"Brothers" puts a clever and disturbing twist on the self-destructive arc that so many real-life rock bands take.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 29, 2006
An astonishing twinning of wild imagination and drop-dead realism.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2006
What becomes painfully apparent as the drudgery rolls on is that the only freak show here is the movie itself.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 14, 2006
This music-heavy period piece is so dour that it's a bit of a drag.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 25, 2006
What's missing is any insight to cut into the twins' opaqueness, which turns the movie into a stylistic experiment without any reason to be.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 25, 2006
Fulton and Pepe's double-headed head trip is mostly drab gray matter.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 21, 2006
Rock on, but be prepared to be left just a bit frustrated by the near-greatness this perplexing film almost achieves.
| Aug 20, 2006
Undermined by its form: strange as it ought to be, the mockumentary conventions of the movie make everything strangely familiar.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2006
The Treadaways are terrific and comedy finds an umbilical link to tragedy.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 18, 2006
The saga is presented, despite the absurdities, as the absolute truth. You find yourself believing, wanting to believe. After all, despite the extremes, it could happen, maybe even did happen.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 18, 2006
