Review of Little Sister (2016) by Tim M — 26 Jan 2017

I completely respect what Zach Clark (writer, director, producer, editor) is trying to accomplish with his latest movie, 'Little Sister'. It's a love story of how a sister feels for her brother that just didn't resonate with me. Disfigured in the Iraq war, Keith Poulson plays the big brother who is a recluse. His little sister, Addison Timlin comes home from a convent to see her family. She has a deep connection to her brother. It's a relationship I would have loved to know more about. We learn through flashbacks about their bond, but it's an area that could have been developed. The parents played by Peter Hedges and Ally Sheedy are opposite in nature. I believe that this could be an American family.

Don't be confused, this movie is listed as a comedy, but you won't laugh. It's serious in tone. Sometimes movies will connect with an individual and sometimes they don't. This one fell short in my eyes. I wanted so much to like it more. Final Score 5.7/10.
