Staff Pick Premiere: Double trouble

Apr 3, 2024

The term "opposites draw" is frequently used in reference to the human nature that draws us to those who are different from ourselves. This is why we are able to understand two people, who have apparent no common ground, becoming lovers. It's also why couples butt heads and can become difficult when two individuals with distinct differences attempt to agree on a common goal.

Utilizing supernatural elements to investigate the challenges of relationship could be a bit of a leap for anyone familiar his filmography. However, his many years in comedy have provided him with the chance to use comedy to study the human nature of our behavior. "We are all dark," say Robbins. "And truthfully, I've never spoken about it in film. At the age of 18, at the beginning of my professional career in comedy, I decided to do it because I believed I was young to discuss something important. My experience was a pleasant one. Making people laugh was something I understood and was eager to replicate."

Robbins uses the romantic comedy model to reveal the aspects of our behaviors that we try to conceal. "If people were treated the way they treat others in relationships, they would feel angry. Each of us has been hurt by someone else." It is how a person responds to the realization of this is what determines their character.

Robbins created the script along alongside his frequent co-writer Nunzio Randazzo (who is also starring as the male Alex in the movie) following discussions about the character of Quentin Tarantino that led them to wonder what it would be like to meet you and be surrounded by your own. Caroline Lindy, who is superbly portrayed as female Alex is the ideal choice for the role, giving a dazzling performance. Also, she has a smidge resemblance Randazzo and adds a new level of interest to the movie.
