Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

trashgang If it wasn't based on true events this could be a pure rip-off of Heavenly Creatures (1994) another flick based on true events.Here we have two sisters fed up with their mother being drunk whole the time and bringing in the wrong guys only to have sex before the eyes of their daughters due being drunk, always having abusive relationships . Slowly the sisters and their friends are making a simple plan to kill her. Doing so they almost got away with it wasn't it for the fact that one of the sisters starts to tell everybody she killed her mother.Like in Heavenly Creatures we also have dream sequences so comparing both flicks is easy. But Perfect Sisters shows that it clearly was a TV flick where as Heavenly Creatures was more brutal and performances were better.It isn't all that bad and I watched it with my teen daughter (15 just as the sisters aged 14 and 15) who never turned her face away by which I mean, there's no horror in it or even any creepy moments. Even when they are killing the mother it's all done without terror. Due being based on a true story it's worth picking up just to see how people can influence each other when they are weak. Not a perfect flick but indeed perfect sisters...Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

auntd Perfect Sisters surprised me a bit. I'm familiar with the murder and a tad familiar with the details of the case, however, I was not expecting to actually excuse the girls sin when I viewed this film. I have to say the director did a fantastic job portraying the girls to the best of his knowledge especially since this case was so hush hush about the identity of the two sisters. At the beginning of the film, the home videos shown was a very nice touch. It helps the viewer become emotionally involved. I was rooting for the mother at first, moving to a new town, starting fresh with a new job, and all that jazz, but, she relapses shortly after her and her three children move in to their apartment. Now the sisters are left to pick up the pieces and take care of their younger brother while attending school themselves. A lot of responsibility for young girls, it is something they shouldn't have to do. When the girls decide it's time to call protective services on their mother, the response was so alarming. It really spoke decibels of how lousy the system is. To top things off, the girls have to deal with whatever trash their mother drags into the home. So murder seemed to be the only plausible answer here. It is truly sad how much those two girls dealt with. I gave this movie a 6 because while the story line is real, the acting was a tad off but all in all it was a decent movie. Even had moments of humor, twisted humor of course. Hard to believe that children are able to do some of the things they do and not lose a wink of sleep.

GenreHopper After having read the other reviews, I'm thrown off by how different my take on the movie was.Where I did find the plot, based on the true story of a murder, intriguing and it prompted me to research the case, I found myself struggling to watch the film all the way to the end.The movie begins very sweetly and innocent. The girls imagining different mother ideas in an obvious effort to portray her as terrible, yet all we see is her trying to start a new life. The wham! She's a drunk. Allowing her young son to play with vibrators while the house is strewn with garbage and food.I did enjoy the attempt of the film to show them as innocent teens just trying to cope, but it just didn't match with the harsh reality of the situation. At times I wasn't sure if I was watching Mean Girls or if I stumbled into something darker.The transition of their emotions from fear to anxiety to giddiness had no natural flow. Not even for a crazy person. I honestly feel that there was a struggle between making the film for a PG13 audience that abused teens could relate to and trying to accurately display the extent that these girls were pushed to even consider murdering their own mother for the sake of a happiness.

yashaswi kumarakalva I watched perfect sisters for the same reason everyone else did, Abigail Breslin. The little girl who, with her cute charm, mesmerized us in any a movie like 'little miss sunshine' and 'zombieland' has been away from a good movie for quite some time. This movie tries to change that.... I hope. Abigail Breslin and Georgie Henley are two sisters who have faced a lot of hardship in life; their mother is an alcoholic prone to dating the worst of men, who tend to abuse them and their little half brother. When things get very rough, and they find no option to make their lives better, they decide to kill their mother in hope of claiming her life insurance money and leading a life their mother could never provide them. They sketch a plan and kill her, only to be traumatized by the experience. They eventually get caught and are sentenced to ten years in prison, the judge giving the reason that people with a lot worse have done a lot better than they have. The central core of the story is based on a true story, which is what makes thus easier to believe. Many of the children today are growing up to become something the society does not need, and all this due to lack of good parenting. Niw what must a child do to make his/her life better? Well, this movie dwells into one such tale where the children take it into their own hands. The direction is poor, but the movie is held together by good acting. The element that hurts moat is how a couple of perfect girls, who could have achieved anything in life, turn to killing their mother. This is probably what many people cant stomach, and thus end up giving a bad rating, but this is life.. People face such problems and don't know what to do in these situations. That is why i gave the movie a good rating, fir the director and writer for sharing with us a part of someone's life, a part that people like us living in high luxury may never know of. Watch this movie with a clear mind, and you may feel it too...
