Consensus: As bizarre as it is, this mockumentary about a pair of conjoined rockers is surprisingly poignant and filled with authentic period details.
Synopsis: Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe (LOST IN LA MANCHA) mark an extraordinary narrative debut with this faux documentary about Siamese twin punk rockers in the early 1970s. Stunning photography by Anthony... [More]

Reviews for Brothers of the Head
"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.

Top CriticThe edgy humor and oddly compelling lead characters make it well worth seeing.

Needed more to counter its "twin" shortcomings: the questionable gimmick and too much lousy music.

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.

Top CriticThe credible feel of this film-within-the-film remains an achievement; it’s neither mocking nor parodic and nearly always deadly serious.
10/05/06
Harry and Luke Treadaway give astonishing performances (or rather an astonishing performance), creating a believable physicality for their characters, as well as distinct personalities.
10/05/06
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.

An astonishing twinning of wild imagination and drop-dead realism.

What becomes painfully apparent as the drudgery rolls on is that the only freak show here is the movie itself.

No doubt one of the weirdest, most off-beat movies you can see all year, and with a rocking soundtrack.

This music-heavy period piece is so dour that it's a bit of a drag.

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.
