Little Sister

Little Sister is an indie family drama about change and reconciliation, but it's instilled with a poignant regard for the moment, too .

[A] fine, darkly poignant tale of a conflicted young nun-in-training facing her own version of "hope and change."

Zach Clark goes down dark-comic alleys, but he's made a transfixing film about a dysfunctional family that looks touchingly and unnervingly like yours and mine.

Little Sister has a uniformly strong cast, but Addison Timlin gives one of those star-making turns that, if the universe is at all just, will be but the first prominent stepping stone for an extraordinary career.
