The Silent Twins (18)
Dir. Agnieszka Smoczynska, Poland/UK, 2022, 113 mins. Cast. Letitia Wright, Tamara Lawrance, Leah Mondesir-Simmonds.
Daughters of the Windrush generation and the only Black children in the local community (Wales in the 1970s), Jennifer and June found solace in each other and developed an intensely close and secretive bond that began to psychologically and socially disrupt their lives. With complex and powerful performances from Letitia Wright and Tamara Lawrance as the central sisters, alongside astonishing cinematography and animated sequences, The Silent Twins is an extraordinary study of loneliness and imagination (both sisters wrote prolifically) let down and (with eleven years in Broadmoor hospital) incarcerated by structures of power.
