My Little Sister' is certainly harrowing at times

'My Little Sister' is certainly harrowing at times, never shying away from the expected trauma of a terminal illness, but it is the constant nurturing of Lisa that really gives this film the weight it needs. For all of the films that focus on cancer, there just aren't that many from the carer's perspective, and even fewer told through the eyes of a sibling. There are literary and classical references woven throughout, and while often they are too on the nose and take the audience out of focus, they are still a clever device that allows Chuat and Reymond to achieve their goal. For an emotional, moving and sensitive narrative, 'My Little Sister' generally hits the right notes, and even when it doesn't, the calibre of performances make it a worthwhile viewing experience. - Joel Kalkopf Read Joel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-my-little-sister-a-moving-and-sensitive-portrayal-on-the-effects-of-illness

Doesn't give itself room to breathe

The film's quiet moments are good - it's in these short, wordless sequences that the film comes alive and we see the characters processing things and how they're impacted by events. Unfortunately there aren't nearly enough of them. The film is extremely overreliant on conflict scenes, most of which are written and acted in too obvious and workmanlike a way. It feels like an hour and a half of spoilt Germans shouting at each other. I wish the lead performance in particular had had more nuance and colour - Hoss doesn't manage to make her character three-dimensional, and the fact the script doesn't give her much to work with other than one argument after another doesn't help.
