dave s Brothers of the Head, a fictional account told in documentary format, follows the Howe brothers (Harry and Luke Treadaway), conjoined twins who, despite being horribly exploited, rise to fame in the punk rock scene of the mid-1970's. Equal parts inspiring and tragic, Brothers of the Head feels real thanks to the performances of the Treadaway brothers and the various formats used in the shooting of the ‘documentary'. Squeamish or sensitive viewers, as well as haters of punk rock, may be in for a rough ride as the film is unflinching in its depiction of the rise and fall of the young brothers, but those who stick it out will be rewarded with a vivid glimpse into a relationship between siblings that is both supportive and destructive. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review simon d a pretty convincing mockumentary, I started to suspect that this wasn't real when I thought I recongnised a few English B actors but when the footage from the 70's was as clean as it was, it was obvious. The film, however is still damn good. It's a story of siamese twins who form a punk band. It's an emotional rollercoaster that gets pretty deep and twisted. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An indy flick filled with rage, passion and raw energy. Nothing too crazy but an ok film about two brothers attached from birth, going into a rock n' roll career and somehow sinking into madness, excess & lust. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie about a topic that is very different from what you would expect of a rock movie. Massive performances by the twins. It takes a lot of guts to touch your brothers tongue on film with your own. WOW! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very slackly paced, which I think can be attributed to the (ill-advised) documentary structure, and which makes this story not exactly compelling. It doesn't cohere as a whole, but there are good scenes, good acting, especially from the two leads, and I liked the songs. Watch it for the musical performances. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Told in faux-documentary style, this story of cojoined twin brothers and their music world rise, was at times surreal, tragic. Great early punk style soundtrack which features prominently in the film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
