There are some groups that just don't get recognition in movies. Siamese twins - that is two siblings joined at birth by living tissue - are one of them.
So identical twins Michael and Mark Polish (who are NOT conjoined) decided to redress the balance, the result being the romantic drama "Twins Falls Idaho".
Blake and Francis Falls are Siamese twins. They are joined down the middle and share a heart. They live a reclusive, but satisfactory existence, reliant to the point where they can almost read each other's thoughts.
But that world is turned upside down with the arrival of Penny (Hicks) - a prostitute who becomes a friend who is both compelled by and sympathetic to the brothers' affliction.
But as a more-than-chummy relationship develops between Penny and one of the Falls, the dependence between Blake and Francis reaches critical point and threatens both their friendship and their lives.
It's a tough subject, but one that the Polishes - who themselves share writing and acting honours - deal with in a sensitive and realistic fashion.
However, the minimal plot travels far too slowly and the bizarre physicality of Blake and Francis - while initially shocking - soon becomes, would you believe it, relatively normal.
The performances are first-rate, particularly from Hicks, whose demeanour changes from clumsy open-mindedness to genuine affection.
The brothers are also wholly real, from their clandestine patter to their heart-breaking honesty.
Nonetheless, they too often rely on the abnormality of their subject for justification, which means that rather than treating the conjoinedness as a backdrop, it becomes all-encompassing. The former would have been far more effective.
