      Audience Member Although it is a good portrait of how poorness also happen in richest countries, the movie lacks of rhytm, action or dramatic pulse. So, I feel too much generous giving it 2.5 stars. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best films I have seen in the past couple of years, great performances from the cast. Ursula Meier really managed to capture the constraints of Simon (Kacey Mottet Klein) and the dysfunctional relationship with his sister, Louise (Léa Seydoux) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The characters are extremely hard to identify and sympathize with. The story also came to basically no conclusion. Moral of the story is that people suck I guess? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprising things are revealed in this film that promises mostly coming-of-age antics and teenage thievery. It will make you question relationships, how they were formed, and how they continue. It's a good film with lingering questions. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Excelente, un drama duro y muy bien logrado. La actuación de Kacey Mottet Klein es excelente logra transmitir la falta de cariño y el deseo de una familia de manera espectacular. Un guión muy bien estructurado y una fotografía de calidad. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Kacey Mottet Klein (Simon) simply rocks. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com While Sister isnt without its issues, this drama remains something special, the films final moments an avalanche of genuine human understanding that had me happily reaching for the tissues while also letting out a silent euphoric cheer of appreciation. Rated: 3/4 Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Punch Drunk Critics Aside from the strong performances, there's beautiful, saddening cinematography, too. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 9, 2017 Full Review Emma Myers Film Comment Magazine Scorn may give way to momentary solicitude, but Sister is by no means a tenderhearted morality tale. Nov 5, 2013 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Meier's bleak second feature proves she is indeed a director of significant talent. Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Kelly Jane Torrance Washington Examiner Sister is a heartbreaking movie whose deft touches of humor only make the story more bittersweet. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 20, 2018 Full Review Jamie Neish HeyUGuys The performances, both from Klein and Seydoux are nothing short of exceptional. Each in their own noteworthy ways manage to navigate the concentrated fashion of the screenplay in tremendous, deeply praiseworthy manner. Rated: 4/5 Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
