"Mati Diop boldly navigates a narrative involving sibling loyalty, family trauma, and societal influence on the self in her latest film. While JoLove's script is merely adequate, leading actors Cynthia Erivo and Tati Gabrielle deliver remarkable performances. Despite occasional pacing issues, the chilling conclusion lingers in your mind." - Gabrielle Wilde, Washington Post
"While the film has an intriguing premise and offers a unique blend of drama and horror, it suffers from some weaknesses in character development, pacing, and the believability of certain plot elements. The story's potential is evident, and it has moments of suspense and tension, but it falls short of fully capitalizing on its intriguing concept. Nonetheless, it remains an interesting watch for those who enjoy psychological thrillers with a focus on complex family dynamics." - Ted Milo, Montasefilm
"My Sister has some unique and entertaining elements, but it struggles mightily with its structure and plotting at times. The story has some good scenes, but the script never seems to figure out how to build any momentum off of them. On the casting side, I never believed the two leads as sisters for even one second. My Sister has its entertaining moments, but that's all they are - moments." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone
Rated R for graphic violence and language
