Sister (L'Enfant d'en Haut)


Sister
was superb. It's a story about a very poor boy who steals things from a wealthy ski resort in order to support him and his sister. It's tense like a potboiler, and I found myself waiting for something really dangerous to happen. As my friend Christina said, though, the violence here is all slow and in the background. It's a devastating movie in many ways. I loved this.

Also, I think the title in English might be better than the title in the original French. That doesn't happen a lot, but whoever came up with Sister did a great job.
