Let Aisling Franciosi Be Funny
Twinless is a great showcase for Franciosi’s real-deal comedic chops.
Her breakout turn in Jennifer Kent’s The Nightingale was like watching a full-scale panic attack, and her most notable standouts since — The Unforgivable, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, and Stopmotion — all sit somewhere between drama and full-blown horror. She’s a little sad, sure — she thought she’d be married with kids by 28 — but her perky attitude gives Dennis a foil through which he can continue to misbehave, slinging passive-aggressive slights at her knowing she won’t ever stop. In both Speak No Evil and Twinless, Franciosi gets big laughs out of pretending something kind of fucked up is actually totally fine and regular and not a thing to panic about.
