Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

phyfutima Strange Girls seared itself into my mind, and I absolutely mean that in a good way. I saw it only once, almost a year ago, and scenes from it still haunt me. Right from the opening titles (which are colorfully set over an accidental-suicide-by-autoerotic-asphyxiation) you know you're in for a disturbing evening. Writer-Director Mark does an excellent job of taking characters who do reprehensible, psychopathic things, and making them sympathetic. She's assisted in this endeavour by overall good performances, some of which stand out as being exceptional -- the twins themselves for example, played by real life sisters Angela and Jordana Berliner, pull off the difficult roles of the title characters with believability and power. The performances of Alem Brhan Sapp and Andre Delawrence Rice Jr., as two brothers whom the twins torment, also stand out. Any flaws in the movie are too minor to mention and, I suspect, the fault only of a tight budget, so I give it a well-deserved ten stars. And it made me never want to visit Pittsburgh, which I also mean in a good way.Summing up: if John Waters had sex with Alfred Hitchcock, they'd give birth to these Strange Girls.

ahuddleston Definitely the creepiest movie to play at 2008's STIFF festival---and definitely more psychologically disturbing than gory (although there's certainly some splashes of THAT too). The two twins really start to get under your skin on their first appearance, and they come home with you and stay in your head long after the final reel. Everything is spot-on, from the atmosphere of a struggling-looking Pittsburgh to the sad-eyed, somehow knowingly hopeless feeling you can read in the faces of even the minor characters. And surprisingly, what makes this such a strange little gem is that while it never loses its fundamental darkness throughout, glimmers of humor are always present---just in case you start to feel a little too uneasy in your theater seat

Lang Skrimshire The movie, set in working class Pittsburgh, centres around two seemingly near-mute twins who act out in synchronicity and occasionally communicate in a childhood language (similar to tones of Jodie Foster in Nell). The girls who are in a psychological facility want to be socialized and move out of the hospital so that they can live with each other. It becomes clear they are not that they will go to any lengths to make this happen and appear 'normal' to the authorities. If I tell you anyone more it will give away too much of the plot.Anyone with an interest in true-independent film-making, low budget horror and John Waters' camp will love this film, the acting is great especially from the twins I was lucky enough to attend the international premiere at the Edinburgh film festival on Sunday June 22, the film was sold out and a lot of people were turned away at the door.Definitely seek this film out if you can.

paris14 Loved this flick! Touches of CLOCKWORK ORANGE & other films but totally original. Very offbeat but involving & entertaining thriller! The fact that the "villains" are also the "heroes" puts the audience in the odd position of rooting for the bad girls, while, at the same time, wanting to see them put behind bars. The acting & cinematography are of the very natural "70s" type, which helps ground the insanity before you. Violent in spurts but even more psychologically disturbed, STRANGE GIRLS is a surprise throughout. Bothered me how I could root for the girls but also root for the "victims", esp. the old coot detective who tries to track them down even though everyone dismisses him.
