"An Instant Classic."
-Richard Brody, The New Yorker
“Little Sister handles volatile material - the effects of war, cultural and military, on young Americans - with a lighter touch. The movie suggests that some kind of reconciliation might be possible in this deeply divided country, in a way that is funny, disarmingly sincere and forgivably naïve.”
AO Scott, New York Times, Critics Pick
"Channels John Wanters and John Hughes."
-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
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 us all.
