Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
tao902 Iris sends her best friend, Jack, to her family's remote holiday cabin for a break. He is mourning the death of his brother who was also a previous boyfriend of Iris'. When he arrives at the cabin he finds Iris' sister, Hannah, there. They get drunk and have sex, an event which becomes problematic when Iris arrives the next day hoping to develop a relationship with Jack who then discovers Hannah wanted to become pregnant! Interesting plot but the film lacks momentum and doesn't contain sufficient drama or depth of character. The naturalistic dialogue and slow pace fail to produce a realism that appeals.
kosmasp Love thy sister, even and especially if you guys are different. Same goes for brothers I reckon and you kinda get both here (more or less). But this concentrates on relationships, friendships and life in general (growing old and other things). The script is good, with maybe the exception of some "quiet time", that could've been shorter, because we do get the point. But it's very well acted throughout and the point is still made.The script/dialog is good and the situations the characters find themselves in feel genuine. You might think that some things come off as strange, but you may not have the whole picture yet ... though some things are very obvious, it does not hurt (the flow of) the movie! Not out with big effects or anything, this is a slow burner
dmanning9 I am getting very tired of wasting hours of my life watching people "talk". What is it with all this indie snooze fest movies lately? Everything is long and drawn out. I kept tuning the movie out and doing other things because I lost interest. I am supposed to write at least 10 lines in order to submit my review and I honestly can not even figure out what to write because this movies was so blasé. It doesn't deserve 10 lines. Sigh... Lesbians, sperm donor talk, people screwing people for stupid reasons, this is really just all to much for me for to take in. Do people really do stupid things like this? I do not find this believable.
in1984 3.6 of 10 (temporarily rounded down until the film's rating is more realistic). This is what happens when you have some technically talented people (typically a group of actors and camera people making a film together based on a loose idea) in the details of film-making and no competent writer/editor. I'm guessing that's why some have been fooled into giving it good reviews. The gloss and general idea allows them to overcome significant story and casting flaws.We'll start with the title and sisters who clearly could only be adopted sisters (very different accents and face structures). Instead, they try to force them on us as actual sisters.As for the story, this seems like a romantic fantasy for inbreeding slacker hillbillies/Brits set in the Norwthwest. It hops on a couple of other current fantasies involving lesbians to expand its audience, but that doesn't really change the inner demented stupidity of the story. You could even argue that the writer does this with the intent of associating lesbians with inbreeding. Or the more likely scenario that the story was a raw idea made a complete mess by letting the actors go impromptu.I'd like to say a few post production edits could save this film, but it really requires a different direction in the second half of the film. Edits could make it less bad and maybe into an average "complex" film.
