In this bittersweet dramedy from writer-director Jenee LaMarque, Zoe Kazan delivers a captivating dual performance as identical twins Laurel and Audrey, two sisters who couldn't be more different in personality. Laurel is a shy, awkward homebody who still lives with her widowed father, while Audrey is a confident, free-spirited artist living the vibrant life in the city. When a tragic accident suddenly claims Audrey's life, Laurel seizes the opportunity to step into her sister's identity, leaving her own mundane existence behind. Adopting Audrey's apartment, friends, and even her charming neighbor (played by Jake Johnson), Laurel begins to discover the complexities and secrets of the life she has so eagerly borrowed. As she navigates this web of deception, she must confront the question of whether she can truly become someone else, or if the cost of losing herself is too high. With its blend of heartfelt drama and wry humor, the film explores themes of identity, grief, and the courage it takes to be your own person, anchored by Kazan's nuanced portrayal of two very different women.
