Ariane Labed's debut feature film, adapted from Daisy Johnson's novel Sisters, explores a haunting sisterly bond amidst psychological drama. The film incorporates stylistic elements influenced by Greek new wave cinema and acknowledges inspirations from horror writers like Shirley Jackson and Stephen King. While the performances are notable and the narrative rich with symbolic elements, the film's coherence falters due to its international production and shifts in setting, leading to a disjointed experience despite its ambitious themes of dysfunctional relationships and violence.
This is a movie that strains and contorts for its effects; the performances are strong enough to carry the big twist.
Ariane Labed directs her first feature film, a self-aware and self-conscious work she has adapted from the novel Sisters by Daisy Johnson.
