The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls

The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls
(NZ, 2009, M - offensive lang & sexual references, 84 mins)

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you might just yodel.

“A documentary that has you falling in love with two of the crazier people you've never met, The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls could well add Jools and Lynda Topp to a list that includes spring lamb and Lord of the Rings – that is, gifts from New Zealand to a world that usually doesn't pay it any attention. Specialty distribution, with an emphasis on the gay and expat Kiwi markets, seems a no-brainer for a film that's pure fun, very musical and a can of mixed nuts.

The Topps defy logic. "On paper," says their comedy-writer friend, Paul Horan, "yodeling lesbian twins don't really work." But for the better part of three decades, the Topp sisters have been gleefully defying accepted wisdom about mainstream entertainment and homophobia, and have become crew-cut demi-goddesses in a country where the national character includes a warped sense of humor.” - Variety
