Tomris Laffly Variety Yamina Benguigui's toneless drama is stifled by poorly rendered flashbacks and an emotional aimlessness despite its deeply personal story. Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Benguigui... isn't shy about depicting the emotional turmoil and blurred edges of reliving the past through art. Oct 30, 2021 Full Review Zehra Phelan HeyUGuys Despite an intriguing premise there is a vagueness which permeates every creative decision in the film creating a distance that cannot be bridged. Rated: 2/5 Dec 10, 2021 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Largely autobiographical in scope, Benguigui returns to similar themes with a more complex narrative in her sophomore theatrical feature, Sisters, headlined by an impressive cast led by Isabelle Adjani. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
