Sister My Sister ★★ 1994 (R)

The tension between the four women reaches a high-strung crescendo, leading to violence. Claustrophobic character study. 89m/C VHS, DVD . GB Julie Walters, Joely Richardson, Jodhi May, Sophie Thursfield; D: Nancy Meckler; W: Wendy Kesselman; C: Ashley Rowe; M: Stephen Warbeck.
