Kindred Spirits

Sadie moves back in with her estranged sister, Chloe and her teenage daughter Nicole. Nicole is a troubled teenage girl, but she has one true fried, Shay. Derek is her boyfriend, and he seems to make Nicole a happy girl again.

The movie really focuses on Sadie as we see how unhinged she becomes, as she starts to tear the entire family apart. Nothing will stop her to get what she wants, even if that means hurting the people she supposedly loves.

The actress that plays Sadie is the entire reason to spend the time to watch. She chews up the scenery every time she is on screen. Especially as we ride along with her, in her descent to madness.

Entertaining in a lifetime TV movie kind of way - kind of silly, questionable acting. There are moments that are tinged with that distinctive Lucky McKee vibe but this is definitely not his best. Enjoyable enough if there's nothing else on, just don't take it too seriously.

This movie is very bland and original, very bad acting, disappointed ending, did not enjoy this

Ultimately, it's _just_ okay. But I'm writing this review solely to give major kudos to Thora Birch for her most natural on-screen performance to date. Watch this one, if for nothing else, than to see what time and maturity can do for your craft.

The premise wasn't that bad. The dialog was weak. The normally decent actors were brought down by bad writing and poor direction. The ending was garbage. I wish Lifetime movies came with some kind of warning label.
