Movie Review: 'The Skeleton Twins' (2014)
"Saturday Night Live” alums Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader star
in this relentlessly depressing, off-kilter dramedy about a pair of estranged adult twins, who are
depressed, suicidal and thrown back into each other’s orbit when Hader’s Milo
acts on his feelings. Released into his sister Maggie’s care, Milo heads back

as an actor and finds himself trying to help the just as emotionally fragile Maggie,

is headed by an intimidating blonde leader, Gerwig’s Violet.
