Excellent, a Must See

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Fine acting but of course a very morbid, depressing film where the writer-daughter more than assists in her mother's suicide, the latter a victim suffering from ALS.While the topic of being allowed to end it when you're terminally ill has become quite controversial today.Each one of the daughters is a unique group of individuals with varying lives and the one who is an attorney vying for a judgeship is all too ready to condemn what her sister has done.Alfred Molina briefly appears as the father of Austin, the daughter who complied with the wishes of the mother. Jackie Weaver, as the dying mother, is excellent as the woman trapped in a body that is rapidly failing.

SMART WOMEN. Smart women who are not defined by a male character. All of them- so well written and fleshed out. Lovely acting all around. Was enamored with Troyan Bellisario- whom I had never seen. Deftly directed with nuance and care. At times funny and others, gut-wrenching. But never fell into the stereotypical UBER-FEELY trap that many female driven fare can. Really just a total GEM of a film. Was at a screening where the audience was both laughing and crying, a successful story in my book. Was also wonderful to see Jackie Weaver in a lovely turn as their flawed but original matriarch.BRAVO LIFETIME for backing SMART, FEMALE DRIVEN FARE!!

I was familiar with the brilliant play that inspired the film and was blown away with the adaptation. Four sisters grappling with the personal disappointments, their fraught relationship with their mother and each other, and with their mother's death. The actors are riveting, the entire experience gripping. Set on a lake, the story unfolds in a kind of "No Exit," environment, where the sisters are forced to remain as the uncomfortable hours click by, forced to face issues none wishes to face. The addition of more back story and appearance of some men in the women's lives adds wonderful dimension as well, each one played pitch perfect for their role. Fun bonus to see the stunning beauty that Cindy Crawford's daughter has grown to be, especially since she demonstrated wonderful acting chops. Another actor to watch, along with the rest of the superb and relatively new to seasoned cast. Highly recommend.

Sister Cities is an excellent film, everybody in it shines. The subject matter is sure to bring some discussions. I highly recommend it. The chemistry between the four sisters is phenomenal and Jackie Weaver is superb! You'll find yourself laughing, crying and even getting angry with these complicated and very real characters. Everybody was perfectly cast, Jess, Michelle, Stana and Troian and perfect as sisters and even their younger versions are perfectly represented and that includes Amy Smart as the younger version of Jackie Weaver's character. So if you missed it when it aired on Lifetime, be on the look out for repeats and Netflix streaming soon, you really don't want to miss on this movie!
