Perfect Sisters surprised me a bit. I'm familiar with the murder and a tad familiar with the details of the case, however, I was not expecting to actually excuse the girls sin when I viewed this film. I have to say the director did a fantastic job portraying the girls to the best of his knowledge especially since this case was so hush hush about the identity of the two sisters. At the beginning of the film, the home videos shown was a very nice touch. It helps the viewer become emotionally involved. I was rooting for the mother at first, moving to a new town, starting fresh with a new job, and all that jazz, but, she relapses shortly after her and her three children move in to their apartment. Now the sisters are left to pick up the pieces and take care of their younger brother while attending school themselves. A lot of responsibility for young girls, it is something they shouldn't have to do. When the girls decide it's time to call protective services on their mother, the response was so alarming. It really spoke decibels of how lousy the system is. To top things off, the girls have to deal with whatever trash their mother drags into the home. So murder seemed to be the only plausible answer here. It is truly sad how much those two girls dealt with. I gave this movie a 6 because while the story line is real, the acting was a tad off but all in all it was a decent movie. Even had moments of humor, twisted humor of course. Hard to believe that children are able to do some of the things they do and not lose a wink of sleep.

I had such high hopes for this movie. I love Abigail Breslin so I figured this movie would be good. It was definitely NOT good but it wasn't necessarily the worst movie ever. The acting wasn't very good at all. So overly dramatic. Im not sure if it was the actress though since she is actually very talented. Maybe a bad director? The other actress was just plain bad. I don't even remember her name. I believe she was the little girl from Narnia but I'm not sure. I really liked the plot I just couldn't get pass the horrible acting. I'm giving this movie 4 stars because even though the acting was awful (except for the actress who played the mother she was excellent!) I really liked the storyline. The movie didn't feel dragged out or rushed. It was put together nicely. It's worth at least one watch. Don't think I'll ever watch it again.

this film was first released in 2012 & now again in 2014 don't know why i decided to check this out as i am a Abigail Breslin fan most of her films are good except Nims Island which was her worst this film is based on real life events i wont go in the detail do look it up.the plot:two sisters Sandra & beth just moved with her mother to a new city life seems nice but their mother Linda Anderson is alcoholic & her boyfriend is abusive tired of the situation Sandra & beth decide to murder their mother in a bath tub they succeed but soon their freedom will end as police finds out that something is suspicious.the cast:Abigail Breslin is an underrated actress once again she proves it with great performance,the new face Georgie Henley surprises & Mira Sorvino makes a strong comeback the acting display is very strong here by everyone.i liked this for what it was its slow paced,low on suspense but performance wise its nicely done so if you are not a fan of these actors still do watch this film it is totally worth the time.my rating for The Perfect Sisters 2014 is 6/10.recomended.

Killing your own mother. From just seeing the trailer I thought it was just a film them I realize that it is based of a true story. At times I felt like I was going to cry but that would of ruined the movie. 2 sisters and some friends conspire to kill the sisters mother in a after school club. That is strange. the film showed what each idea of a death would look like which keeps you involved but it was the final idea. The scene where the sisters were killing their mother and the mother fighting for her life at trying to breath. After 4 minutes she is dead. I would of thought that the sisters would of got caught in the film by a CCTV camera on the street or on the bus that is time stamped. Brought down by their friends who had a bargain to testify against them. I did like this movie, however it was based of a true story which is upsetting. At the end of the film it was good how they included things from the original story. I know that they might of changed some things in the film so that the sisters true identity's are protected. Honestly what were they thinking. If you think you got a way with it, you slip up and lower your guard that is when you get caught. In this case getting drunk and high on drugs.
