The Sisterhood

Superb TV flick (nothing fluffy here hence no need to insert the word 'chick') that uses the rarely employed setting of an all-female cult (attracting divorced and separated women frustrated with their daily domestic struggles and strapped finances) as a backdrop for a suspenseful thriller that features skilful twists & turns along the route. The cult attracts the vulnerable and delivers nice benefits...at a price!

If you can imagine a sorority for down to earth women where the books are cooked to keep the leader/bestselling-author under the radar away from the IRS, then you can see where this is going.

Nicely played by the three leads (Lisa Berry as the nice-but-nasty 'Queen' has a compelling presence; as do Claire Coffee and Siobhan Murphy as the real sisters with a dysfunctional history of codependency) and all the supporting characters.

I'm surprised more TV movies are not made at this standard and proves that a good setting with strong contrasting characters can prove very entertaining and engaging, particularly with a good plot and realistic dialogue.

I'd like to watch this again - it's that good.

For a low-budget TV movie, I was won over by the story, the constant suspence, the script and by the credible actors well directed by the director. It's not perfect... but I loved it from beginning to end.

As someone who watches every new movie shown on Lifetime, this was one of the best Lifetime movies I have seen. I thought the acting was very good and I especially enjoyed the actress playing the part of Desiree. I highly recommend this movie.

I found this movie very interesting, decent enough storyline , and well acted. I was curious as to know where it was going, so kept with it to the end, however, I have to say that I was a little disappointed at the quick " wrap up " finale. A little anti climatic for me. But still , not a bad movie all in all.

I can't say that I'm an expert on Lifetime movies -- I find the majority to range between cheesy and simply bad, but I caught Secrets of the Sisterhood by accident and was immediately and surprisingly hooked. The acting was excellent all around. The writing had great characters especially the villain with lots of twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat the entire way through. I wish all made for TV movies were this good.
