Paralleling a plotline in the film, Anne Giafferi's One Role For Two, suffers from not being able to decide where its interests truly lie. It's dramatic content is slight, briefly focusing on the difficulties middle-aged actresses may face in securing quality roles. And the humour we might expect to see from a near - identical twin sister, being hired to secretly substitute for her famous actress sister, is distinctly underwhelming and largely insignificant.
The movie's only real selling point is star Mathilde Seigner, who does do a sterling job playing the sisters, with two quite contrasting personalities. But the narrative's lack of direction and consistent tone results in a 98 minute film feeling like its running time has dragged out over two hours.This is a disappointing film, that will only fleetingly impact on your memory at best.
