Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Five legged dog Blood Sisters is a jarring who-what-why dunnit that's very much of its time. Whether it works for contemporary audiences ... well, I'm not so sure.The film starts by introducing Margot Kidder as a French Canadian actress/model and 'star' of a dubious TV game show built around voyeurism. As opening's go, it has its own flavour of disturbing, but it does cleverly mirror exactly the theme of the movie in a less than a minute: if you were witness to something private, would you do 'the right thing'?After an interesting premise, there's a slow and laboured build-up to a one-night stand, a menacing ex-husband, a secret twin and an inevitable - and very schlocky - murder. For me, the movie only briefly comes to life in the middle, where we have local beat reporter Jennifer Salt (the only halfway believable presence in the movie) witnessing the crime from across the street. When the police refuse to take her seriously, she sets out to investigate on her own, sometimes accompanied by her hilariously critical mother.Blood Sisters does its 'moments' well - there's intermittent tension, gore, black comedy and frustration, but otherwise it seems to lope along fairly immaturely. My biggest gripe - purely as a modern viewer - is in the film's extremely outdated ideas about mental health and disability. It's not so much about 'investigating' anything as going straight for the shock factor.I could forgive that if there were was something more endearing about this movie. I did like the overall feel and mood of the movie, down to the jerky editing and its rather obvious plot twists, but the acting is too hammy to be anything other than distracting. The ending is a masterpiece of short-change: not so much who-dunnit as huh-dunnit ... Yep, it left me stumped.I'd probably watch this movie again but not because it's good. It's an underwhelming 5/10 for me.

Mike Guratza There's a certain extent of how much influence can one director draw from his icon, and Brian De Palma seems to stretch that extent to its very limits with "Sisters". This, along with "Dressed to Kill" are the American film maker's most Hitchcok-ian films, and a double feature screening is much suggested for a complete experience. Perhaps lacking the later films sexual emphasis (but of course not lacking sexual themes entirely-typically for De Palma) this film borderlines horror exploitation, but only in the best of ways.The visual style is top notch, as split screen narratives serve the suspense in an excellent way and drive the story forward keeping a fast pace, saving on screen time. However, as usually commented on De Palma's work, one can truly argue that this stylization is utilized to cover up the lack of a strong story. Talking about the story, it borrows (and that is a very weak word...) elements from classic Hitchcock films, notably Rear Window. There is an abundance of clichés, which, although performed perfectly, are still, nevertheless clichés. To be honest, once you've seen psycho, this movie and its "sister feature" (no pun intended), Dressed to Kill, lose a lot of what appreciation they could have earned from the viewer.With that being said, "Sisters" is a very entertaining movie, mainly because of its visual style and tricks, which will satisfy fans of the director but disappoint viewers looking for an original story or plot.

arminhage The movie begins simple. If there is no Criterion mark on DVD, one may think that its a horror flick and it is actually a horror flick got prestigious somehow except for the fact that the plays are surprisingly good. Specially Margot Kidder delivers an outstanding performance as a French Disturbed woman. The African American guy looks like a potato but that's how most guys act when a stranger woman surprisingly asks them out. I would say it was an awesome performance in potatoness! The plot is simple and easy to follow. ***Now I warn you, this is going to be a real spoiler***. The woman who murdered the black guy was in the bed while it is clearly shown that Danielle was unconscious in bathroom although we never discover the nature of those very important pills nor we never find out why she needed more when she just took 2 pills 5 minutes before. Anyways, what I'm saying is, despite the outcome of the movie that Danielle and her sister are essentially the same person, Danielle can not be the woman in bed murdering the guy. I don't want to say the plot had problem but it was rather a defect in one scene. I think based on the outcome of the movie, Plama should have re written the scene. Another problem was the faith of the couch. It ended up next to a railroad in Canada while the private detective was watching it from the top of a telephone or power pole. There is a corpse in that couch for God's sake, it should grossly stink. Not only there is no foul smell (I say it based on the arrangement of the scene) but we do not know what took the private detective to get close and inspect/report the couch. The ending was unclear in murky way otherwise it was a descent entertaining movie, not something extraordinary and certainly does not belong to the Criterion line of movies. 5/10
