Sister

Glad to see so many positive reviews of this one. It's a fascinating, powerful film about two young people—a potty-mouthed artful dodger and a soft-faced older girl he calls "frangine" ("sis")—trying to live by their wits at a Swiss ski resort. Léa Seydoux's sulky beauty makes her perfect for the role of Louise; Kacey Mottet Klein, then barely into his teens, gives an amazing performance as Simon. Didn't recognize Gillian Anderson as the Englishwoman who takes a motherly interest. The slangy (not to say skanky) dialogue may be useful to students of advanced conversational French. Ursula Meier's first feature, "Home," is a total headtrip, longer on concept than plot and reminiscent of 50s absurdist satires of modern life by Ionesco and Jacques Tati; this one has real visceral impact. Both "Sister" and "Home" are available on streaming Netflix.

It's not possible writing about this movie without allude the conditions of the principal character's relation ship, because it's the power emotional focus, but it's also important no being in details, the surprise should come unforeseen like an ice bucket. Either the movie is fiction, the spectator does a connection with the principal characters, Simon, a little child surviving in the world, and getting over his loneliness.

We can see a Cableway getting up and down, like life. A reflection about social roles, obligations, and grow up. Simon asking to Louis What are you gonna do when I was taller than you?

Really well done movie. I wanted to feel sorry for the pair of them, but I just couldn't, they were too unlikeable with their actions. But then part of me understood why they were both like that.

This incredible drama from an acclaimed director was a given watch, and surely did not disappoint in every sense of the word.

The actors all do an incredible job, some of the best in their careers, and it showcases some very interesting writing that works beautifully.

It is overall very beautifully put together in terms of both cinematography, cutting and editing. Truly a beautiful film to look at in every way.

Overall, a great feature that I would definitely recommend for any lover of film. It is truly a great drama with some very appreciated acting, and is very well put together. Definitely one of the director's better films and a great masterpiece.

This movie is surely more than worth to be seen: I've been so impressed that I kept thinking for days about the characters and their fate and wishing them my best.

So, as you have probably understood the film is touching, let's say moving. Can't say if it is more the rare beauty of Louise or the remarkable talent of Simon for getting by that will affect you the most but be sure that you'll feel involved in the story as if you'd be part of it.

Needless to say that acting is perfect, scenes are catching and dialogue is most natural. I wonder whether is it a true story or not. I hope it is, otherwise I'd have to think that there is some kind of sadism in Ursula Meier's imagination.
