Reaction: This one just barely squeaked by with the smallest profit margin in LRF history - maybe a dubious honor, but it's still in the black.
"Kitty Green's LRF debut may not break new ground, but it thrives on its sincerity. Anchored by emotionally resonant performances and thoughtful direction, it’s a moving reflection on how time, distance, and the weight of expectations can strain even the strongest bonds." - Seth Black, Seattle Times
"In Sister/Sister, one finds a sincere yet curiously shallow exploration of sisterhood and the passage of time. Despite a promising framework and a few tender moments shared between the capable Alyn Lind sisters, the film too often settles for sentiment in place of substance. Lacking in true psychological nuance or progression, the characters remain locked in archetypes. The story, though earnest, is missing the depth to stand out in a sea of family-themed dramedies." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
"Sister/Sister promises comedy and delivers... a few awkward silences. The drama? It’s mostly people being moody with little context. The central relationship between the sisters has moments of charm, but the script is so light on actual plot or insight, it feels like a reunion episode of a show we’ve never seen. Worst of all? The love interests are background noise with dialogue. If you’re expecting a sharp, emotional dramedy about family, growth, and identity - this isn't it." - Brian Edelstein, Time Out
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, brief strong language, and some drug references.
