Pretty One
The Pretty One
Some identical twins are impossible to tell apart.
But awkward and homely Audrey is the polar opposite of her twin Audrey (both played by Zoe Kazan). Audrey has confidence, style, independence, and a promising career in real estate, while Laurel still lives at home to dote on her widowed father (John Carroll Lynch) and continue her obsession with the boy next door (whom she used to babysit). So when Audrey returns home to celebrate their birthday, it feels like yet another day where Audrey is showered with praise and Laurel gets only pity. That is, until Audrey urges Laurel to break out of her shell, treating her to a makeover that makes Audrey at least look like her fashionable, vivacious twin.
But before the new Laurel can be revealed, tragedy strikes and the two are in a car crash: miraculously, Laurel lives, but Audrey’s body is burned in the wreckage. Awakening from unconsciousness, Laurel doesn’t know how to react when her family greets her with the news that “Audrey” has died – because of Laurel’s new haircut, they mistakenly believe she is Audrey. Unable to articulate who she is through the layers of physical trauma and grief, Laurel makes the fateful decision to keep her secret and change her life – by reinventing herself as her sibling.
