"Twin Falls Idaho" is a 1999 independent film directed by Michael Polish, who co-wrote and co-stars in the film with his identical twin brother, Mark Polish.

Plot

The film portrays the lives of shy conjoined twins Blake and Francis Falls, who take residence in a rundown hotel to hopefully reunite with their estranged birth mother; secluding themselves from the outside world. They find their gateway to the outside world through an eccentric young prostitute named Penny. They agree to attend a Halloween party with Penny and pretend to be wearing a "Siamese Twins" costume. The rest of the movie involves the brothers dealing with Francis's health problems, the changing relationship between the brothers, and Blake's budding relationship with Penny.

It has received a 74% "Fresh" rating from critics polled by Rottentomatoes.com [ [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/twin_falls_idaho Twin Falls Idaho - Movie Reviews, Trailers, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes ] ] and won awards at the Athens International Film Festival and the Deauville Film Festival.
