Carla Hay Culture Mix The Real Sister tells a bittersweet story of the tensions between a widow and her four sisters-in-law. Some of this drama is styled like a soap opera. However, the filmmaking and acting performances are generally very good. Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Mai Movie about Women fighting the whole time like regular day at nail salon. No nice. Voices very annoying. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Lemon C Bittersweet movie, recommended Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review David K I had the great pleasure of attending the world premiere of the movie "The Real Sister (Chi Dau)." Now normally, I'm an action-adventure guy, but this film really surprised me. It addresses some very real issues that all families can relate to, and I was particularly touched by the amazing performance of Viet Huong, who plays the sister-in-law. It was such a nice surprise to see the magic that can happen when a simple story is executed well. There are no CGI effects, just honest-to-goodness real family issues, and great acting. I hope you get the chance to experience "The Real Sister" at a theater near you. This film should be considered a "Best Foreign Film" classic and showcases what real Vietnamese culture looks like today. Hoping the Academy of Motion Pictures puts this one on their radar. Especially taking note of Viet Huong's performance. I've seen thousands of movies, but I've never seen anyone cry like Viet. See for your self... and you're welcome.
