Wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie, but by the time it was over I was emotionally drained. It's incredibly dark and really very sad. Definitely has an artsy side to it with some odd scenes, but overall it was profound and well done. It will definitely haunt my mind for the next couple of days. Glad I went see it.
agreed! An amazing movie, and def draining but in a good way. I cried so much with the ending!
I cannot find this movie in my area and super annoyed about it. There was one show time at 3:00 p.m. during the week which I could not attend because I work. Where the hell can I see this movie? 😕
@@QueenNaestar at this point it might not be available till it's streaming. I read that it will most likely go to peacock first
@@WhytheBookWins Thanks for your reply.🙂 I will be patiently waiting. Sadly, I think I have every streaming service offered and barely watch anything 🤦🏾♀️ 😅
Same here.
The fact that they were put in the UK special ed system at that time may have been a big part of why they deteriorated. It is shocking what they did to Black kids in that system. Kids who didn't belong in it. They did a movie about it. If you get a chance to watch it it is called "subnormal: a British scandal" I cried at the injustice they did to the children of Caribbean immigrants like these girls was is infuriating and has caused continued difficulty for so many kids. The kids were tracked into the program because of their accents, never educated abused and sometimes used as "the help"! And literally being Ill enough to go to the hospital could get your kid pushed into the system that made them worse or robbed them all because of their language skills.
Your info is enough for me. I don't want to read or watch the injustice done to black people.
This is horrible. So much of EuroS crimes have been pushed under the rug. All the oppressed people of colonialism suffered from this. Many of their stories dont ever get heard.
The same treatment or worse was done to 1000s of Indigenous Americans kids, Indian kids, african kids.
It is mind boggling the Magnitude of industrial scale slavery and genocide imperialists have gotten away with and it still continues in various forms today.
Their hierarchy of hate is like this:
1) Not my religion - gets bad
treatment.
2) Not my race - Gets worse treatment.
3) Not my race and religion - Gets The worst possible treatment. You Deserve To burn in hell, no Humanity extended to you.
how do you know this happened to all children of a specific race? in normal uk schools everyone was treated the same.
@@Clearbluesky771 I really wish they would finally get rid of slavery in Africa. It’s so heartbreaking.
It's so sad the trauma it leaves with someone or anyone who has been horribly mistreated. It's breaks my heart 💔
Jordan peele should have did this movie. It doesn’t really look mysterious. And if you know that true story it was definitely that way.
I've come to just believe the Brits aren't really about mystery. They tell their stories from a place of immediate truth. I watch a lot of true crime and where American shows tend to keep you guessing and treat the story as a whodunit, British shows tell you who the killer is immediately and focus more on the specifics of the story. This film is likely done the same way.
While it's not my style, I've been waiting for the twins' story to be told for a LONG time so I'm gonna support.
His niche is horror. I think black women get perceived as the villains often enough. I don't think it's needed in this case. And the true story is here are two black girls who got severely bullied and went within themselves as a means of survival. Instead of acknowledging that they were villainized and treated poorly, they were hospitalized as a problem, until one of them killed herself to save the other. Which is horrible, heartbreaking, and proof that the UK health system isn't as glorified as everyone thinks it is.
I’m glad it’s not “creepy” it’s a true story and I think it would be slanderous
He’s not good at writing or directing movies
@@Skysdalimit247 Exactly THANK YOU I appreciate the writer for humanizing these girls.
So happy for Leticia she’ll have two big movies out in the same month !
@@slev7n. shes just saying shes happy for the actress. Calm down
The movie sucked it made me not feel bad for Them. From what I can see there was no disorder just a pair of girls that were stubborn and stuck in their ways. The shut everyone out but when it came to being sexual they were all for that 🙄. They were fascinating up until the movie came out
I’m watching now and I feel the same. They lost me when they were having full blown conversations with dudes, but their own sister was begging them to just say hi.
I felt the same way🥴
OMG!! They are making a movie about them! The documentary was sooo sad. I literally fell into a rabbit hole just researching their story one day. My mind was blown away. This is going to be a good movie if they do it right.
Just read about their true story. So heartbreaking.
If you don’t mind me asking what’s the name of the real story, Thanks in advance
@@pootma3286 The Silent Twins... documentary on here, a book by Marjorie Wallace, also a 1986 film which is impossible to find, and then this upcoming film.
y what happened with them in real life?
They were twins that grew up in the 70s in a town in Wales, where they were bullied for being black. Because of the trauma of this, they decided to stop communicating with other people and only with eachother. Since they were twins, they had a unique way of communicating and were very creative. When they were teenagers, they started to rebel and were placed in a mental health hospital for years, where they were prescribed drugs that caused more issues. One of the twins eventually dies. They made a pact with eachother that if one dies, the other has to promise to continue to live a normal life.
@@coolbreeze5683 thank u for this
honestly watched on Peacock it truthfully just pissed me off with their selfish hateful ln essential towards even their own family. It sucked.
These girls had had selective mutism, an rare anxiety based disorder. They didn't intent to be mute. I hate to see them demonized.
They’re not being demonized. They’re telling the story
They were part of the subnormal category that the UK put on Caribbean children in the UK. It likely made what ever issues they had significantly worse. Watch the documentary "subnormal: a UK scandal" before you watch this movie. It might give you insight to why these girls might have acted out so much.
This movie is horrible This director should have left this black family story alone turning their tragedy into some whimsical fantasy nonsense
This is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I had to fast forward through most of it. Total rubbish.
idc what nobody says or thinks. you do not separate twins so suddenly and abrasive like that. that was probably why they really deteriorated. they was already being abused in that uk special ed system like tons of other foreigners and black peoples.
Exactly
I had a life like June’s in the sense that I grew up isolated and could only live through my imagination. watching this movie was difficult because it was like a peek through my own mind’s strange corners. The director did an amazing job.
Same
Idk i felt like something was missing in this movie.. The movie wasn't all that bad.. The documentary told so much more
Just saw this. This movie will have you feeling so many emotions. To know that's a true story is haunting. So well done, the acting was chefs kiss. The entire vibe of this movie was so good, it really sucked me into their world.
Saw the film with my mum. I think it was OK I think it could of been better although the story of these twins was actually really fascinating and quite sad and confusing.. I recommend watching it but don't think it's the best film as I've stated think they could of made it better
One of my family members worked closely with the twins when they were young , such a sad story will always have a place in my mind
tells us more please! fascinating story!
Did they say anything
This looks promising. Can't wait to watch it
Anyone who has read about these two I'm sure thinks that it's a story begging to be told.
This looks really good
It does
Don't they have anything to say?
I didn't like this movie, the documentary on the twins was so much better then the way this was put together. And I'm a person who loves the watch movies that are based on true stories & / events.
Just seen it today. Heartbreaking and truly amazing performances from the two young lead actresses, from the opening chords of T-Rex's Hot Love, to the strangely life affirming end.
I love these twoooooo. I researched them a long time ago. When they decided one had to die they chose by whose turn it was. One said while I just did the dishes.....so the other one died in her sleep. Twins are remarkable.
Omgosh I remember this story
It was done very differently In the movie. No prior conversation about it between the 2 of them.
@@mariebee3146 there wasn't - afair they were in different prisons - it is believed to be the transference of thought which had been noticed when they were children. As part of my research we saw on video them sitting in different rooms and eating soup at exactly the same time as each other - each lift of the spoon was exactly on time.
@@ruthmayorcas9929 Wow that's wild. Like they were so in sync that they ate at the same time, and lifted their spoons in sync with each other while living apart.
They used to burn houses down for fun...I live in the same town as them....also, they were abused by Jimmy Saville
They were definitely mishandled. These actresses did a great job telling their story. The way they were able to mimic their speech pattern was awesome
This trailer is trying to make it seem like they were so closely bonded to each other that they never spoke to anyone but actually they had a terrible mental health issue.
Nope. Poor film. Unnecessary scene that just show who wrote this.
Wow they finally made a movie out of this. Def gonna see this
The original movie was in 1986.
@@Mimi-zh7wc had no idea there was already a movie. I’m gonna check that out too. Thanks!
Scrolling and came about this. Im always an open book esp to AA History and Opression. This is my first time ever hearing about/seeing these young ladies. I don't know their story but will def. Do my research and watch the movie.
@@kaylao.3326 I worked on the BBC version. It was very well researched - I was the Location Manager and met many of the people represented in the film. The parents simply did not know how to manage them - he was in the RAF and their mother worked at the hospital. There were 2 other children with whom they had no problems. It was clear that being identical twins had an impact on them. At an early age they simply stopped talking and were operated on for tongue tie - a dreadful thing to do. Once in Pembrokeshire they were at school and fell under the spell of an boy their age who had witnessed his mother being killed. He encouraged them to become arsonists. They also stopped eating much, didn't speak to anyone and sent off for and did a writing course - they wrote w microscopic hand writing. It really was an extraordinary film to work on. There is no doubt that the treatment they recieved was poor but no-one quite knew how to work out what was going on.
@@ruthmayorcas9929 that’s cool. What year was that? I read the book in 1994 for Wes Craven who was considering buying the rights for a feature film. Surprised it took this long. I loved the book and turned in coverage to him recommending it.
These two were "selectively mute". This type of behavior stems from emotional upheaval.
Really? Are you an expert?
@@AngelaLussierFireWithFire Yes. I am actually. Study "selectively mute". I do not just casually state things I do not know anything about. Selectively mute is real.
@@AngelaLussierFireWithFire Now this is strictly my opinion. I read about them for years. There were several other things that contributed to their condition - that I am sure.
@@petuniaazulflor7289 I am fully aware of the condition. However, the cause is up for debate. Nurture vs nature - I used to believe it was more about nurture but now I know that nature plays a bigger role.
Wdym explain @@AngelaLussierFireWithFire
Imagine being sent to a insane asylum like Broadmoor for the rest of your life! The twins didn’t realize this nor did their parents. They thought they were going to be together but, they were separated at broadmoor. There were very few women there, and I’m sure they were probably drugged a lot, examine being identical twins. 😢😢😢😢
This movie was so good and so sad
Finally, their story was filmed :")
there was a british movie made in the 80's too but not as big budget
@@theturtleproject this was the BBC one on which I was Location Manager - and yes - a tiny budget in comparison but still an excellent film.
@@ruthmayorcas9929 it was an excellent film
@@theturtleproject it was - and speaking to people who had known them was extraordinary including their family. And researching and arranging the locations was wonderful.
@@ruthmayorcas9929
If it was the BBC that means tv licence payers paid for it, just saying, probably why so low budget, I wager most the the funding went on booze ups and strip clubs, as usual. As the cycle continues to this day.
Worrying the carcass of a sad story for monetary gain. The exploitation continues.
Looks good. I'll def give it a watch
Idk i expected more out of this movie. The documentary definitely allowed me to know everything that was going on detail by detail. If i had just watched the movie without seeing tge documentary first i would've been completely lost not knowing what was going on. I felt the movie was just out of order randomly jumping from scene to scene and i slightly got bored with it almost fell asleep but i wanted to see it through since i had watched the documentary.
I do not like how her "Fantasy world" involves her being intimate with a white man, someone apart of the group of people who subjected them to this abuse in the first place
Film kręcony również w Polsce w takich miastach jak Ustroń, Sosnowiec oraz na dolnym Śląsku. Wiem bo brałem udział w kręceniu tego filmu. Bardzo jestem ciekaw premiery filmu w Polsce 😉
Very cool!

I've been fascinated by them since I was younger and hoped for a doc or movie about them
go letitia!!
They were identical twins so getting two actresses who don’t look anything alike to play them makes no sense you should’ve hired a actress who could’ve done both roles I mean if Lindsay Lohan could do it I don’t see what’s the big deal
Yeah, thought that was weird too. I was like, weren’t they identical, why didn’t Tamara just do them both?
What's the song that plays towards the end?
It sounds like an original song based on the words written by June for her deceased twin's headstone.
The Silent Twins will be so powerful & moving!
It was.
No doubt Letitia Wright is a great actress but in my opinion they should have cast a actress with a fuller face similar to the actress potraying Jennifer gibbons (Tamara Lawrance) I mean after all, the real 'silent twins' were identical and Tamara Lawrance fuller facial features is a closer match.
I get why they cast Letitia Wright though..all about popularity.
I was really looking forward to this in September, but now I see it's not out until December in the UK -- which is where this true story originates... Looks like I'll be watching it illegally on the projector, then!
It’s good I saw this comment! It was due to be released Sep 15th here in the Uk, I wonder why they pushed it back?!
@@Nonamehello993 I guess it conflicts with other scheduled UK releases in September, or it's not deemed worthy as a late summer release so is allocated to the more modest December showings. Isn't that what it usually is? Other movies, off the top of my head, that were released in, or pushed back to, December are The Matrix and Scream, which weren't expected to do well, or as well as they did, but which were very much sleeper hits. Hey, look forward to seeing it soon. Realised after I commented - and also meant no disrespect to the filmmakers or cast and crew involved for saying I'll watch it illegally, just very much looking forward to seeing it and I'm sure they understand that; it's the distributors that drag the process out - that it's meant to be exclusively set for theaters, not VOD, and being a probably fairly modest title, which means it's unlikely to make the illegals, or if it does it'll be some crappy camcorder copy from in-cinema with online gambling ads bouncing across the screen like a bad game of pong. But, if it's good enough, which I anticipate it will be, I'd go and see it at the cinema as well upon release, so...
Just heard it will be released in a few days here in the US and thought it may have been out for a few weeks now in the UK. Wow, I wonder why the pushback.
@@plotstoraisethedead I Agree. Its def. about timing and release dates. This is my first time ever hearing about their story which seem very intricate and interesting. From my understanding it'll be released here in US in 2days.
@@Nonamehello993 Waited all this time for it to not even be shown in my city come December 9th... hahah.
I’ve seen a few UA-cam videos talking about this case and it was really fascinating
i went to the school they set fire to, a few years after the event
I grew up in the town at the same time, I'm the same age as the twins. I can assure you that this will be nothing like the truth. It was wrong to send them to Broadmoor, but, they did commit some nasty crimes that won't be portrayed as accurate in this movie. But carry on and enjoy the fictionalised version that even their older sister is unhappy about.
***Spoiler alert**
The movie showed only the fire and the use of inhalants. Please share what else they did. I'm so fascinated by this story after seeing the movie.
I would like to know as well. It says from some sources that they committed burglary and vandalism too.
I been knowing about this story for years, hope this movie is good
I loved it !
是非観たい。楽しみです🌱
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16
God gave us his only son Jesus Christ who Lived a sinless Life then died on the cross to endure our punishment, he rose again on the 3rd day and is currently seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
We have all sinned against the Perfect and Holy God that gave us Life, we all deserve the Punishment of Hell for our sin/rebellion against him.
We have all Broken the Moral Law in our Hearts, even if you don't believe in Jesus, or have never heard of him or the Law of Moses or the Bible, you are still sinful and on your way to Hell. But the GOOD News is that Jesus Christ took our sin upon himself by being Crucified and shed his Blood as payment for our Sins.
He took our Punishment and gave us his reward of Eternal Life in Heaven
Jesus is returning to Judge the world soon my Friends
Please Repent and believe in his sacrifice and Love for you, believe in him as your Lord and Saviour, and you shall be saved.
May God Bless you all!
How ironic, the actresses real names are LetiTIA and TAMARA...
Yes except Letitia isn’t pronounced “Tia”. It’s La”tish”a.

I remember a movie about these girls in the 80's, I believe. I can't wait to watch this.
Watching it right now and tbh its boring. I hope it would be interesting knowing a little about their story. I wonder if the scene with wayne was made up or actually happened
One of the weirdest movies I have seen in a long time. It was so wired I just gave up on it over halfway through. I just couldn’t finish it. From the very strange/difficult to understand dialect, odd cutscenes and hard to follow storyline it was just too much. I think this would have been better as a documentary.
In the beginning, the rising sun is associated with a birth, an awakening, and spring...
In the end, the setting sun is associated with dieing, rest, and autumn...
In the hereafter, the night is associated with death, the dreamer's sleep, and winter...
i am deeply deeply disturbed...
knew about their story for years. so excited for this movie
The description made it seem much different, but it pulled me into its surreal “real”, much like HEAVENLY CREATURES. But were they fraternal or identical twins? Exceptional actresses, but they looked nothing alike…
I was the location manager for the BBC version of this film shot in Pembrokeshire - an incredible experience.
I still dont get why the other twin killed herself!!!
I would like to watch the silent twins (1986) version that was aired on BBC2 i cant find it anywhere online I hope that its put onto BBC iPlayer or another streaming service some time soon from what I've heard it's much better than this remake
The Pepsi cola addict is a great read. These girls had talent. So very sad and completely brutal how these 2 young women were sent to a horrendous place like Broadmoor 😢
Why is it so many dark depressing movies nowadays

Read this book about 40 years ago and no one I recommended it to would read it😐. It stayed with me too long so maybe it was best that …🤷🏽♀️
Wow just came across their story. Its amazing how this has been a story 40 years ago but has just made it to the screen🤔
They are older girls yet they want to split them up, seems like an excuse like they always do.
I don't know what to feel about this movie just completing it ...
God Bless 🙏🏾🖤💪🏾
Song name Please?
That's definitely how I feel
im beyond excited to see this film I watched the true story years ago.
Can you send me the link to the old story you watched?
1.6 mil views and 318 likes but all the comments are positive. Wtf? 🤣
Oh wait. Now 18? Anyone here know how to math? I think we need some clarification.

@@RepentJC it is an act of hubris and pride to try to proselytize. Salvation is found within. Please do not preach on my post.
I was really nervous going into this movie because the reviews were divisive and I've been so fascinated by these sisters for many years. I'm happy to say that it was really good. It's honestly not as bad of a movie as a lot of people say. It definitely gave me A24 vibes. If you like those types of artistic, slow burn, compelling movies, I think you'd like this. The first half is easily more like that, whereas the second half is more grounded in reality, and I love that. I was also expecting the artistic parts to be over the top like a lot of people were saying, but it honestly wasn't and only happened a handful of times, so it never got too bad. But as soon as it started, I was hooked. It was that good and it's one of those movies that I regret not being able to see in theaters on release.
At the movies now watching it extremely sad nothing like I expected it to be but the producer made you feel ever depth of emotions in the movie
Did u cry
Best abstract drama since American Beauty!
I wouldn't rule out schizotypal personality disorder.
1:07 That part blow me away.
This should be a great movie for me I'm considered emotionally detached anyway
Looks like there is no mystical or supernatural aspect of these children portrayed in the film...It does real life human tragedy a disservice, and that lableing is a way to cast total fault on the victims.
Just watched this..I remember watching a documentary on the real life girls.
Started to watch this but the only gripe is the parents accent isn't Bajan.
If you're going to make a film which is based on a true story about a set of identical twins then the leads should be played by a set of identical twins 🤔
The twins looked similar but were actually fraternal.
@@witchplease9695you're mistaken real story is based on a set of identical twins
@@witchplease9695 they were 100% identical lol
It might have been a decision to highlight how the twins saw themselves as individuals and that's why their relationship deteriorated so powerfully. That way it is easier for us as the audience to distinguish between them as adult women. They did make the younger girl versions totally identical so I suspect this is the thinking behind it, as they were more in sync as children.
I think they want us to be able to differentiate between them
This looks good I love films that are based on a True Story ❤. X
A comment to watch ratio of 1:100,000 is stupidly insane. What just happened?
is it good or no
I'm really looking forward to see this as both of my sisters read their story when we were younger.
Sorry they went through this 😔 🙏🏿💕I will go see it i never heard this story just research it gald they bring light to this !
In the movie, it seemed like they were just tripping to be mute. 🤔
What's the of song they were dancing at?
Another old story being made into entertainment.
This looks very interesting I always find movies about twins fascinating.
I'm a twin and I relate 🥲
A story I didn't know about...

John 3:16, 18And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
