The Twelve

About This Movie

"The Twelve" is one of those unique indie gems that captures a certain quirky vibe. It’s this odd blend of comedy and science fiction that meanders through an evening spent with 'The Apostles' as they sip drinks and ponder the apocalypse. The pacing can be a bit erratic—sometimes slow, sometimes punchy—reflecting the heavy weight of their situation. The atmospheric vibe has this almost surreal quality, reminiscent of Hal Hartley’s work. You get a mix of practical effects that feel raw and handmade, which adds to the film's charm. The performances are pretty solid too, with a real sense of camaraderie amongst the cast that feels genuine. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from its themes and leaves you thinking.
