“First of all, this is a movie for adults.nIu0026#39;ve been watching a lot of enjoyable u0026#39;vanillau0026#39; movies lately.nThere was something about the opening shot of this movie that made me think, u0026quot;this is going to be a real piece of cinema.u0026quot; Whether it was the more natural colour grading and the crisp cinema lense or the single camera work … it was likely all those factors – there was something I hadnu0026#39;t seen in a good while. This is partly due to the COVID pandemic as well.nIt starts off as a character study of the deeply contemplative artist. From that point all of my u0026#39;vanillau0026#39; expectations were unthreaded. Instead we see inside the deepest, most confused parts of the human psyche. It is one of those more brutal, confrontational coming-of-age movies.nLife isnu0026#39;t a rom-com, nor is it like this family drama/thriller. It is somewhere in the vast space between (for most of us, I trust).nVery inventive within its smaller budget limitations, and very committed in its performances, Sister Of Mine lifts the lid on what primal beasts we are underneath.nCommendable adult viewing.”
