A Sister

Obviously inspired by THE GUILTY and some other movies of this kind, with more or less the same scheme, this short feature seems to be the first draft of a long length film made this year 2023 by this same female director. Many young director do the same actually: first a short movie and then a long one with exactly the same plot. Anyway this one is effective, tough, very well done, so I am sure that this woman film maker has great skills to resume in the profession. She deserves to continue, and not stay in the short "industry". I was really impressed by this one, where dialogues are so accurate, chiseled, yes, very impressive piece of work.

"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.

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.

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.
