Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Jenni Devyn
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

two sisters. two different worlds. a war. it is a chronicle of a century drama. a story. or just a parable. a delicate trip in heart of profound pain. without verdict. without explanations. only pictures. a meeting. and desire to be happy. chain of tragedies, it is not sad or cruel. only realistic. a lesson about existences and need of the other. and extraordinary end. great virtue - it not becomes a pledge or moral. only a delicate portrait. for society, nature of joy, ash of a time, pain of many families and sketch of reconciliation with the other. with yourself. it is beautiful. and profound. touching. and delicate. a lesson of history in a different manner.

Twin Sisters is a truly excellent film detailing how social and war experiences influence lives and drive people apart. It is a vein in Dutch film making which has already resulted in other critically acclaimed films like The Assault (1985). The central premise of separated twins growing up under different circumstances in different social circles has been explored in literature before, for example in the novel "Kronprinsarna" (1972) by Swedish author Lars Ardelius, but the novel "Twins" (1993) by Tessa de Loo has the added element of the Second World War and all the suffering that it entailed. The film follows the novel quite closely which has resulted in a richly layered drama in which nothing is as black and white as history may make us believe. The SS-officer is a reluctant soldier and a loving husband, while the culture-loving Dutchman hiding Jews in his house is a reluctant hero and a petty man. Through the eyes of the twin sisters we are able to appreciate the war experience of German and Dutch people and understand how it drove people apart and how hard it was for them to reconcile. The attempts of the German sister to reach out to her twin even at a very advanced age make for some very moving drama that will leave no one indifferent.

This is a must see movie, which changes from the vast quantity of Hollywood WW II movies that already exist. De Tweeling is based on a book by Tessa Loo, and produced by a Dutch/Luxembourgish crew. The movie plays in the Netherlands and Luxembourg, although they will want to make you believe it is Belgium. This is the only reason why I haven't rated it with a ten out of ten. The movie perfectly reflects the great and small drama's that certainly happened during the war, and grasps the public's attention from beginning till the end. De Tweeling has been nominated for the Oscar's in 2004 but alas did not get this great reward.

When their parents die, both twin sisters Lotte and Anna are seperated by their family. One of them is raised by a wealthy Dutch family and the other one by a German farmer family. They are not allowed to see or even write each other. Because they live in two different worlds they become two different women. The dutch girl is going to marry a Jew, while the German one falls in love with a SS-soldier. When they finally contact each other it turns out that they have grown apart too far, and a definite break seems inevitable. Will it ever be possible to become reconciled with each other?Twin sisters is a beautiful movie that fully deservs the oscar nomination. It's not really another WWII movie as much people think, but more a touching story behind the actual events of the war.
