Stephen C LOL, a funny and successful comedy movie in 1 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!! Rated R for Language, Drug Use and Some Sexuality. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Stephen L "The Skeleton Twins" is a heartfelt and darkly funny exploration of sibling bonds, trauma, and emotional recovery. Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig deliver standout dramatic performances, showcasing a chemistry that makes their characters’ complicated relationship feel authentic and deeply affecting. The film skillfully balances humor and melancholy, using sharp writing and intimate direction to navigate its heavier themes. While its indie sensibilities may not appeal to all, The Skeleton Twins is a moving, well-acted film that finds beauty in life’s messier moments. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review HMF B Worth a watch but rather depressing in tone. One can feel what the characters are feeling about their lives because of great acting from from Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader. I removed half a point for the depressing aspect of the movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Sam F Harder and Wiig are credible leads and you care about what happens to them. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Audience Member 10 years old and it’s a pretty good drama by two stars known for their comedic chops Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig of SNL fame play brother and sister; Milo and Maggie haven’t been in touch for 10 years and their father died After they both had experiences contemplating suicide they try their hardest to live again and reconnect They both look why they’re so unhappy and broken from a teacher Milo used to have and an infidelity Maggie is involved in Who else can blow up your life besides family? The title has a double meaning; for one there’s a visual representation of a Halloween decoration two siblings shared as kids and the fact that both of them have secrets hidden away deep inside they can’t share There’s plenty of relatable crises going on here Yet the film does stumble in a few places and the ending almost feels like they ran out of time to make a proper conclusion Fresh, funny, and heartbreaking with depressing subject matter but carried by stellar performances proving that even a smile and a laugh can blossom out of dark troubles A heartfelt character study exploring contemporary anxieties of characters that feel like real people thanks to Craig Johnson’s direction Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review John S This movie is so well executed.
