A Sister

I loved it! A nice film directing, cast performed well. There is nothing to complain about. I did not like the music though so I give it 9 of 10. Other than that everything else was wonderful. Thanks.

"A Sister" is an ideal short film in both its structure and content. The masterful use of camera combined with a powerful script and performances demonstrate all the essential qualities this cinematic medium has to offer. Delphine Girard's film couldn't be more timely and is one that will stay with its audience long after the final credits roll.

Of the five shorts nominated by the Oscars, this was the best. A simple concept beautifully acted and shot.

It is one of short films who you discover, scene by scene, detail by detail, as perfect. From inspired storytelling to the performances and cinematography. At first sigh, a gem. In essence, an intense drama because you feel each nuance of dialogue and its minimalism is real powerful. A call . A woman in the car. And her, in so many senses, sister. Short, exceptional in each detail.

Night. A man and a woman in a car. He is driving, while she has to make a phone call to her sister, who is babysitting her daughter.

I agree with a previous reviewer that his is an intense short. Well crafted, but I have a nagging disbelief as to her attitude towards what happened before the depicted story starts.
