Adult Sisters
11 February 2024
Absolutely worth the watch. This captured the best aspects of adult sisterhood/friendship perfectly. Sweet and silly and supportive--the relationship here is so positive and delightful. Hooray!!

Of course, this one's not for everyone. It's a movie about the realities of living during a pandemic, of being a woman, of adult life, of dating, and of the retrospective absurdity of 2020. Some of the themes & topics & jokes aren't for kids. Old Studio C fans should approach knowing that this isn't a starched, white button-up shirt (meaning that there are several mentions of anatomy, an innuendo or two, and a few jokes where birth and death are used as punchlines). Some of the other reviews here might imply that this movie is a broad deviation from family-friendliness. But while I wouldn't watch it with my conservative grandpa, I never got the impression it was being lewd. It simply felt like honest adult conversations. Like, I'm pretty sure that I've had a slightly different version of all these talks/jokes with my own sister.

And really, it's the beautiful representation of modern, adult sisterhood that makes the movie so fabulous. One of the most down-to-earth and genuine depictions of female friendship that I've yet encountered. It's basically "Girls vs 2020: The Movie" and I adored it. The writing isn't legendary, but it feels perfectly real (in a comedy-typical, slightly exaggerated way). Not much plot. Not the deepest script. Not a cinematic masterpiece for the ages. Rather, it offers 80 minutes of wholesome sister vibes, and that's everything it needs to be. Charming, funny, endearing, slice of life, simple, genuine, road-trip joy. Fantastic.
