Sisters, Sisters, There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters....., 12 May 2009
6/10
Author: brocksilvey from United States

A grungy, indie-vibe movie about a wild child (Jennifer Jason Leigh) who has to fall back on her reliable sister (Mare Winningham) after she screws up her own life. Leigh's character loves her older sister precisely because she's always there for her, even as she dislikes how safe and boring her sister's life is. The film does a good job of tapping into the dynamic that exists between two people who both love and hate the very things that make them most different.

Mare Winnigham received a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination for her performance, and she's good, but it's Jennifer Jason Leigh once again who proves that she was one of the most overlooked actresses of her generation.

Grade: B
