The subjective camera or found footage has been over-used in the last decade, and I was hesitating to see the movie when it started because almost all the movies I've seen in that format from before 2001, are not successful in many different genres for so many reasons: the script, the genre, making it hard to watch because the camera moves too much, etc. However I decided to give it a go and I didn't regret it. In this case they made it work. All the movie you keep on wondering what happened between the characters when they were kids to make them act like that during the movie, and in my opinion, the relationship between the two main ones (brother and sister) is very well handled, with the ups and downs of painful and beautiful memories from childhood. Sometimes you hate a character, and suddenly you jump hating the one you liked better at the beginning, which I find really hard to do and something very well accomplished. The actors (all of them) are great. The movie touches taboo themes though so if you are weak of heart perhaps this is not going to be the best choice for you. Perhaps if I would have seen it when it was first released I would have given it a 9 but of course times change and it is not as actual as I guess it once was. Still, I would recommend it if you are searching for something different.

Now here we have a really bad pretentious dutch 'artistic'(come on !!!) 'movie' this boring P.O.S is soo revealing as to where it is going... This guy made another dutch classic called 'Philene is sorry' with the same actress , Kim van Kooten ' and that film was maybe worse , but this one comes in close.I Cannot believe that his films are being taken seriously.it is supposed to be a film about a guy filming his sister in video format while he is constantly talking frustrated text into the mic.commenting on his sisters behaviour before the lens. very corny is the transition between scenes in which he shows us some ' noise ' perfectly put into the montage...it is to give you the impression of spontaneousness .This as well is how this product (the film 'zusje') comes to an end.with Noise. Dutch critics , especially' at pretentious film festivals in the lowlands hail these kind of films as very interesting , creative and totally ' now '. It makes you shiver.

This movie took me by storm.This is a great movie about love between siblings.I loved it and I forgot everything else when I watched it. The theme for the movie is not common, and something like this just catches your attention by it's provocative nature.The filming is a bit of the Danish Dogma style, since most of the filming is made from the brothers hand-camera, from his point of view. It is all right, it does not disturb me, but rather gives it a documentary feeling.The script is very nice, and it is not that easy to figure out just what is coming to you.The acting is also very good. I love the actors. They play well, convincingly, and are charming in a natural way.I can only recommend this movie to all serious movie-lovers. Movies like this, that not only are not afraid of sensitive themes, but also dare to present them this beautifully, is the reason I love movies.

Zusje is one of the most intelligent and fascinating films I have ever seen. The way the story is told, the performances, everything about this film is brilliant. The story is gruesome, tragic, and very unpredictable. It leaves you wondering right up to the final scene about what really happened between Daan and Tijn when they were children, and leaves you with an ending nobody could possibly guess. Shocking and fascinating, a film well worth seeing.
