The brooding, well-constructed drama gets considerable mileage out of the schizoid twin dynamic.

What are critics saying?
So true to its title that I've forgotten many of the details already--and I just saw it this morning. This latecomer has been rendered completely obsolete by “Memento.”
Fedja van Huet gives a fascinating performance as two very different twin brothers.
A clever and stylish Dutch twist on the old good-twin/bad-twin plot.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
The first feature written and directed by Martin Koolhoven. It reveals him as a skillful manipulator of disturbing visual images (much of the film is washed in inky blue) and a screenwriter adept at sustaining a mood of impending doom.
