MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Woodyanders Willful and dominating Charlotte (a splendid portrayal by Judith Ivey) and her more fragile and passive younger sister Lucy (a terrific performance by Jennifer Jason Leigh) reside in a dreary mansion that they have converted into a guest house in the Louisiana swamps. The arrival of the handsome and enigmatic Matt Rutledge (a sound and engaging Eric Stoltz) forces them to confront a dark secret from their unfortunate past. Director Bill Condon, who also co-wrote the engrossing script with Joel Cohen, relates the absorbing story at a leisurely, yet hypnotic pace, does an expert job of crafting an exquisitely brooding gloom-doom Southern Gothic atmosphere that seethes with pent-up repression and thwarted passion, vividly evokes a dreamy feeling of the remote bayou region, and tosses in a startling, but effective supernatural element at the surprising conclusion. The uniformly excellent acting from a bang-up cast holds everything together: Ivey, Stoltz, and especially Leigh all do sterling work in their roles, with sturdy support from Dennis Lipscomb as the suspicious Sheriff Cleve Doucet and Benjamin Mouton as the smitten and possessive Etienne LeViolette. As a sweet extra plus, the lovely Ms. Leigh bares her yummy body in a couple of sizzling and sensuous soft-core sex scenes as well as takes a steamy bath. Stephen M. Katz's striking'n'stylish golden-hued cinematography and Richard Einhorn's beautifully lush'n'lilting orchestral score both further enhance the overall fine quality of this unjustly neglected little dilly.

Angellebabie Not to be confused with the TV show of the same name, Sister Sister the movie is a Suspense Thriller! If you are expecting a comedy about twins separated at birth make sure you read the DVD box and go pick something else.Set on the beautiful and mysterious bayou's of Louisiana. It follows the relationship between two sisters who have to keep a awful secret from childhood and what lengths they will go to, to keep that secret under wraps.Judith Ivy's performance as the older protective sister is stellar and that goes the same for, screen chemistry between Eric Stolz and Jennifer Jason Leigh.Be prepared for twists and turns in this one. And a Paranormal touch too.If you watch it for anything watch it for the mystery and the stunning dream sequences.

shantaar-1 This early Joel Cohen, sans Ethan, effort is passable. It features a good southern goth feel and some fine performances from Judith Ivey and Jennifer Jason Leight. It does rely too heavily on shock, rather than fleshing out its plot, but still its pretty convincing stuff! There is the requisite nudity and violence but at least this seems intune with the settings and people, unlike some deliberately sleazy thrillers. The repressed younger sister is understandably attracted to ahandsome "stranger", and her older sis is of course jealous. this makes sense and sets up a good twist with some nice nuances. Recommended especially for fans of Leigh.

K8-2 Gothic bayou horror story about murder, revenge and the voyeuristic/overprotective relationship of two sisters. Excellent quality for a TV movie. Contains one somewhat steamy love scene which is unusually revealing for television.
