When the Twins face an accident, the one who feels insecure survives, and the other one dies. The insecure one fakes her death and disguises herself as the twin. The movie explains her motives and the consequences faced by her. This movie was directed and written by Jenee LaMarque.

PLOT: Laurel and Audrey, an identical twin, meet with an accident and Audrey dies. Laurel disguises herself as Audrey and takes her place. She falls in love with Audrey's tenant, Jake Johnson. In spite of everyone getting suspicious with the change in Audrey's mannerisms, they did not consider it much. But Laurel cannot manage to deceive everyone, and she accepts the truth. Will she be able to join back with them?

ANALYSIS: The director tries to include various tones to the film. Though she was not able to hit the target, she extracted some pleasant and good scenes from her cast. The subplot that says about Audrey's boyfriend was half- baked. The first half was a usual one. It explained about the sisters, and how they are completely different. It did not have any extraordinary aspects in it.

STAR PERFORMANCES: Zoe Kazan excels in her roles with her incoherent voice and her big eyes. She pulls of the girlishness of Laurel, and the confidence of Audrey perfectly. John Carroll Lynch comes as an adorable father. The chemistry between Johnson and Kazan makes the film more lively. The talks between them before getting into the relationship sounded to be genuine.

WHAT'S THERE? Though the premise was not much convincing, this movie was a sincere one. Kazan makes the movie convincing with her performance. Polly Morgan's cinematography was stunning. He captured the presence of both Audrey and Laurel on screen without any help of CGI.

WHAT'S NOT THERE? The humor in the movie was amazing. But they lacked a momentum to create some laugh. The same happened with the overall movie as well. They failed to be memorable.

VERDICT: A 'pretty' movie from Jennie and Kazan.
