Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

phd_travel Liked the ensemble cast that includes Troian Bellisario of Pretty Little Liars but the story is ultimately unbelievable. It just doesn't ring true that a mother who is dying of illness wouldn't want to see her kids and say goodbye. The euthanasia assisted suicide matter aside that weakness is just the let down of this movie. And the burden placed on the caregiver daughter is kind of terrible.I wouldn't say this is a bad movie it just feels like a waste of time.

renatacarioca worse actresses ever. couldn't buy one single scene of it. Totally forced and pretentious movie with bad actresses making faces and trying hard to convince they're serious. Didn't work. When the mother dies (that's given) you think something unexpected it's gonna happen, but it's just a sequence of clichés about old memories and irrelevant sister's issues. It really does not fabricate a deep meaning into it. The sisters characters are very superficially constructed and even their relationships looks fake from the start. The film failed to bring us something to actually deal with other than a mother dying and reuniting her kids to sort it out. Dialogues are bad, poorly convincing and the girl's different personalities are full of clichés. Really don't get how it's rated with more than three or four stars.

rdrfrm The development of the characters in the movie was excellent. The plot moved along briskly, but the ending was not predictable. the movie unfolded piece by piece. Lots of dialogue, none of which was irrelevant and also lots of action, for a chick flick. All of which served the theme, which I will not reveal. But I will say is that this, for me, is what matters the most, and when I call it a Hollywood morality play, I'm talking about Hollywood morality. Sister Cities lays out a developing trend in American moral thinking that I believe is an aspect of the general degeneration of our society, and despite the fact that this movie is well crafted, I give it a 4.

tietroupe I'm always interested in seeing independent movies, and often find them much more absorbing than the much hyped blockbusters. Sister Cities proves to be one of the best independent films I have recently seen and one that I have enjoyed the most. This story of a family of dysfunctional sisters coming together after the death of their mother and in the process beginning to understand themselves and each other is beautifully crafted and extremely touching. And, although it is a film written by a woman primarily about women, it is universal in the exploration of grief and how our reactions to death are shaped by our choices in life.
