Liked: Genevieve
Despite Elliot’s best attempts at sabotage, Beverly manages to fall in love with an outside force: Genevieve (Britne Oldford), a famous actress who tolerates the twins’ eerie closeness until she has reason to rightfully declare the situation is neither healthy nor appropriate. Genevieve exists mostly to cause conflict between the sisters, but Oldford makes her feel like a real person confronting the fact that her girlfriend, who she genuinely cares for, is tangled in some seriously powerful blood ties. There are also some nifty Cronenberg references present here: Claire, Beverly’s girlfriend in the 1988 film, was played by Genevieve Bujold; Claire is also the name of Genevieve’s character on her hit TV show—a zombie drama with a very Cronenberg-ian title, Rabid.
