Creating movies that are based on real-life characters and events carries some pressure. Filmmakers frequently struggle to mix teaching with entertainment in a way that is acceptable and genuine to the stories of their subjects. This is because it is crucial to provide a balance between the two. The most recent to draw criticism is the film by director Agnieszka Smoczyska about june and Jennifer Gibbons, two sisters who largely kept to themselves. The movie, which is an adaptation of Marjorie Wallace's 1986 book of the same name, provides insights into the twins' creative milieu. The Silent Twins, however, gives the impression that it is unable to acknowledge the frightening reality that the sisters face by concentrating mostly on one part of their story.

Black identical twin sisters june (Letitia Wright) and Jennifer (Tamara Lawrance) Gibbons grew up in a small Welsh town. Early life events including severe bullying and racial discrimination at school influenced their dependence on one another and their seclusion from society. june and Jennifer briefly cut off communication with everyone else. When separated, they even created their own language and went into catatonia. The twins eventually went to a life of crime as a result of their upbringing in a state of complete dependency and seclusion from the outside world. This ultimately sent them to Broadmoor, a notorious mental institution in Berkshire, England, where they were forced to choose between dying or surviving while still beholden to one another.

The Silent Twins' production ultimately proved to be difficult for the filmmakers. While the movie contains a lot of entertainment to keep viewers interested, the majority of that is because to the captivating character of june and Jennifer Gibbons' narrative. Wright and lawrence are outstanding in their roles as the two sisters imprisoned in their own imaginative world. The plot simply lacks the support it requires to examine their inner conflicts with one another and themselves, though. Although Smoczyska and Seigel's depiction of such sensitive material is lacking, at least their film serves as a love letter to the twins' actual creative brilliance.
