PERFECT SISTERS

Cinemavixion Review

Stanley M. Brooks directs "Perfect Sisters," a Canadian crime drama that delves into the dark aftermath of a mother's death, as recounted by her two teenage daughters. Starring Abigail Breslin, Georgie Henley, and Mira Sorvino, the film initially presents a narrative of accidental drowning, a consequence of the mother's severe alcoholism. However, as whispered rumors surface, the story shifts, revealing a chilling possibility: that the sisters may have orchestrated their mother's demise. The film, released in 2014, explores themes of abuse, desperation, and the extreme measures one might take to escape a destructive environment. While the premise is stark and provocative, critical reception, as indicated by a 25% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a Metascore of 44, suggests a mixed response to its execution. Despite its disturbing subject matter, "Perfect Sisters" offers a compelling, albeit grim, examination of familial trauma and the complex moral landscape it can create.
