The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls Storyline

If you see only one documentary about lesbian, country-singing, comedian twins from New Zealand, make this the one! Jools and Linda Topp have become phenomenally successful among the Kiwis for the sprightly combination of comical characters and catchy ditties, and this exuberant film captures the joy they bring both to their performance and to their daily lives. If you aren’t already a Topp Twins fans, you’ll be one by the end of this delightful doc.—Outfest Film Festival

The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls Movie Reviews

An Exemplary Documentary with a Great Subject

The older I get, the more moved I am by people who perfectly express who they are. The Topp Twins are “New Zealand icons”: yodelling lesbian comic singers with (as one show-biz type acknowledges) zero commercial prospects but who are nonetheless approaching three decades into a career as peerless audience-pleasers with perfect entertainment pitch. This film tells the story (including the Topps’ key role in the repeal of sodomy laws in NZ just by being more fun than the opposition) with no frills but enormous heart.

But wait! You also get: the funniest lesbian joke I’ve ever heard. (Hope that’s not a spoiler)

as powerful as any cinema classic – but entirely true

To anyone who for whatever reason has doubts they’ll enjoy the Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls film:

All you need is a sense of humour – because I stress this isn’t a regurgitation of their TV show sketches. It’s a story of the very interesting lives of two women who’ve been unflinchingly out and proud as activists and entertainers since the early 70’s. There’s no other person on the planet who is remotely like them – and only a few who could hope to match them for courage and commitment as equal rights activists. They fought on the front line for gay rights, indigenous rights and against apartheid (at the Springbok demonstrations) – and they gave their comrades a much needed emotional lift.

The film combines pristine archival footage with songs from a recent retrospective concert and comments from people who know them well – including celebrity associates such as Billy Bragg, Mark Trevorrow and John Clarke.

“Untouchable Girls” will do a power of good by inspiring and empowering any viewer to fight for what they believe in – and to value and enjoy each day and the truly good things in life.

Whatever your gender or sexual preference, I firmly believe that the vast majority of viewers will find “The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls” to be richly rewarding. It is very classy cinematography with an effect as powerful as any cinema classic – but with the distinct advantage of being entirely true.

A unique globally relevant and first class documentary, and one of the very best feature films I’ve seen.

good Kiwi stuff

A great documentary – well balanced mixture of interviews, performances, old news clips … Just so easy to watch and enjoy. And I was on a plane … Doesn’t really feel like a documentary in places, because the story of these sisters’ lives is so entertaining, both the good bits and the sad bits. Well done to director Leanne Pooley and everyone else who helped put this tribute together. Everyone from the sisters themselves, their parents, partners, colleagues and friends. I’m only writing this to fill up the space, but it did make me feel good to see such a high quality, warm-hearted and totally Kiwi tribute to a totally Kiwi legend like the Topp Twins.
