Below is a list of what I have to say about each of them. To make things easy, I summed up each review in six (6) words only. Feel free to add your own six-word review :)
Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader show off their versatility and poured their hearts out as The Skeleton Twins, a delightful dramedy that teaches us about love: the time and distance it conquers, and the wounds that it heals. For the record, they are my favorite comic duo in SNL, and perhaps everywhere.
