LITTLE SISTER [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 2016
• Genre: Comedy, Drama
• Plot: October, 2008. Young nun Colleen (Addison Timlin) is avoiding all contact from her family, until an email from her mother (Ally Sheedy) announces, “Your brother is home.” On returning to her childhood home in Asheville, NC, she finds her old room exactly how she left it: painted black and covered in goth/metal posters. Her parents are happy enough to see her, but unease and awkwardness abounds. Her brother is living as a recluse in the guesthouse since returning home from the Iraq war. During Colleen’s visit, tensions rise and fall with a little help from Halloween, pot cupcakes, and GWAR. Little Sister is a sad comedy about family — a schmaltz-free, pathos-drenched, feel-good movie for the little goth girl inside all of us. ; ; “Molds the classic homecoming drama into a quirky reconciliation between faith and family.” — Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times (Critic’s Pick); ; “An eccentric, earnest, blackly comic family screwball from Zach Clark — and the best new movie I’ve seen this year.” — Calum Marsh, Village Voice; ; “A transfixing film about a dysfunctional family that looks touchingly and unnervingly like yours and mine.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone; ; “Fierce, tender, and grandly visionary… This is a great American political film.” — Richard Brody, The New Yorker; ; ; ; ;
