Others have said it. Premise had some interesting potential. Freaky idea, wake up and you're sewn to another person, no idea what or how it happened. Ok. The reviews out here point out some key points - how were they drugged? How were they transported to some remote snow region? How did the father find them? Why wait until they are in their mid-30s to do what he did? Etc. Where the movie 100% lost me even if I wanted to forgive some of the other stuff I just mentioned is they cut themselves loose after shooting the guy that did it and he's dying on the floor. Women decides "hey, I'll just walk out in the freezing cold and snow naked for help" for what clearly would have been a very long time. Zero chance of surviving. No one decided to try the phone the guy had beside the cameras he had watching them? Bet that one worked. That aside, anyone with 0.00000001% of a brain in this situation would have used a towel or something to bandage the wound on their side from the cutting, then taken the dying guy's clothes and put them on before heading out into the snow for help so they wouldn't freeze to death in minutes. Implausible stupidity because the script wanted to hammer home the 'ying / yang / 2' concept to the viewer with the subtlety of a sledgehammer one last time. Problem is it takes the viewer completely out of the movie when relatively smart characters do something so ridiculously and obviously stupid.
Firstly, the two sewn together kept changing position so much it was ridiculous and clear they weren't sewn together. I mean, I know you're not really going to see people together for a film bit they really needed something to make it more believable. At one point he'd behind her, looking out a window, they were lying stomach to stomach in bed, then they are stood side by side. Like you'd be able to move through that much range and not be in agony. Secondly, the reason behind it all is not well done at all. It's so rushed and vague and quite frankly not believable. But if they'd spent more time maybe it could have been made more believable. For me when films are dubbed it's hard to gauge the acting as it's someone else acting it too, with their voice, so abit unfair to judge the actors.

Two: Two people, a man and a woman awake in a bed to find their abdomens have been stitched together. They have never met before and there is mutual suspicion. However they have to reach a modus vivendi and co-ordinate their actions to actually move. There are some scenes of horror here, even existential terror but is far too wordy. All is explained and though there is a grand guignol ending Two does not follow the brevity of that school. Even at 70 minutes it's too drawn out and might have worked better as an episode of an anthology series or film. Directed by Mar Targarona, Written by Cuca Canals,Christian Molina & Mike Hostench. On Netflix. 5/10.
'Two' is like a crossover between 'Saw' and 'The Human Centipede' with a dash of the 'The Number 23' for good measure. If you sold a movie to me on that premise alone I'd be pretty excited for it. The problem with 'Two' is that it never gives itself a chance. At only 70 minutes in runtime there simply isn't enough time for it to do anything special or memorable.
The first two thirds of the film are actually pretty interesting. There's the mystery element where we are wondering why this has been done to these two people. There's the unique and uncomfortable element of the disturbing thing that has been done to these people. And then there's the character dynamic where they are having to deal with this horrible situation they find themselves in. The set-up in this movie is actually very good.
For some reason though, once we get some answers, the film becomes in a huge rush to roll the credits. I don't know why. Most films are doing everything they can to stretch themselves out to at least the 90 minute mark. The end result is a very unsatisfying conclusion. There was potential in this one but sadly it will end up a missed opportunity. 6/10.

This film is once again an example of how the interaction of streaming services and lousy filmmakers continues to destroy the art field of cinema, classic show TV and acting. A stupid premise underlies this film, which puts its only hope of being watched on the value of shock and waits and waits even with the smallest attempt to resolve the question of why. This resolution is then just plain stupid. The worst part, however, is that you can tell from the film that its makers thought they were very sophisticated and unconventional. This is shown by the overestimating dialogues and the stupid side stories. The characters are all intolerable and are also poorly portrayed. The final image of the film underlines the whole nonsense of this abyss of cinematic attempts at art.

I approached Dos with a little fear but despite some disgusting bloody scenes it was really not that bad. You can say that this movie has many plot flaws but on the other hand atmosphere is strong and acting is good. Chemistry between the actors was shown masterfully.
Ah this took me back to my physiology class where we learned about leptin through parabiosis of rats.
A Spanish mystery thriller on Netflix where two people got sewn together and had to try to get out of the ordeal.
I'm pretty sure I enjoyed this movie a lot more than the general reviews that I have seen on Letterboxd. When the movie started I could feel pain in my belly. It's such a nasty yet interesting concept that drawn me into the movie. Even though the movie was only a hour, its pacing was quite slow, but this actually kept the intensity high for me. The conversations between the characters were weird at times, but I wasn't bothered that much.
Good concept is one thing, but execution is a different story. This aspect was where I was majorly disappointed. Ugh it's annoying how they butchered the potential. The twist in this movie could have been handled way better to have significantly more impact. For some reason it was like they downplayed the twist. Because of this, the last 20 minutes felt like the director got confused and led to the demise of the movie. My mind could have been blown away like when I watched The Invisible Guest (one of the best Spanish mystery thrillers that is also on Netflix), but I didn't get that, thanks to the lack of direction from the director.
Also, even though I said I wasn't bothered much from the conversations, the characters' behaviors and mindset were confusing and pretty unrealistic.
Overall, this had so so much potential to be a great body horror, but it fell short. That's my two cents. 6/10.

It's endless Blabla so easy to fall asleep.
What irritated me most was them sitting next to each other with towels wrapped around their bellies so you'd an see for sure they aren't even attached to each other They couldn't even pretend to be attached for real!
And that's the whole story... Had to stop watching halfway.

I guess 2 stands for the rating you should give to this movie. I'm pretty generous here, but they asked so hard for it. Otherwise 1 should fit nicely.
Anyway, this film is so damn soulless and big time stupid. The chemistry between the two leads was nothing special, but i kinda enjoyed the over ther top acting.

It's so bad it's funny... Half the time they move abs face directions that show their stomachs aren't attached. They lay in the beds on their backs and when they go to stand up you can see the full tummy area 😂 the subtitles are even worse if you're watching English dub they do not match at all!

A good enough subject in order for it to be approved. And once the budget and money has been paid everyone just does the absolute minimum in order to get it over with and get paid.
Both actors are terrible, and frequent errors in filming them apart but supposedly being sewn together at the abdomen. The both lie on their backs, lol.
Poor writing, poor dialogue, poor directing and poor camera work. If anyone involved in the movie can't see these mistakes then they are either just bad at their jobs or just ignoring what they see.

It's a short 70 min movie involving just 2 people who are stiched left/ right side of the abdomen. Even thought it's 70 mins movie is bit slow. There is not much story but it will keep you hooked to know why this was done to them. One time watch.

Fantastic exploration into personal, relationship and social boundaries. If you're looking for a special affects glam or polished posing flick skip this offering. Try Marvel. A lot of psychological side notes in this film. It's daring and achieves its goal.

The story is great for a mini series, it is new and creative. However, the movie was short and lame. The acting was terrible, my grandma does it better. I recommend to watch it if you wanted to waste some time. Better luck next time.

This is one of those films where they have come up with a idea but then struggle to come up with a why? Two people unknown to each other wake up naked sewn together at the abdomen, in a room neither of them have been in before. Its a good idea but what follows makes little sense, the way the characters act to being there and the reason they are there makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
