Very interesting characters. The pre WWII event. About two orphan sisters trying to make a living. The best they came up with is to help the people to make contact with their loved ones who had died. So far so successful. Especially when a notable filmmaker takes interest on them, their lives begin to change. Those were what shown to us in the rest of the film. But there comes a complication, especially the bond between the sisters was tested, and followed by the filmmaker's reputation.There were many English dialogues. The casting was so good. The lead three was great. But there's something about the story. Overall, it looked decent, but I don't know that they cinematically well transformed. Looks like a literature kind of tale, yet it was not adapted from any such source. That is what's missing in here. You know, the good writer's perspective. They know how to take the story in a right direction.I felt they messed the conclusion. All the sudden too much had happened. Even the twist did not feel like it was a twist. All the above, there's no strong emotional effect. The middle section was so plain. All I felt was the two sisters struggle. The rest did not make the film shine. Could be one time watchable, but I'm not sure you would like it at the end.5/10

Follows the journey of sisters who are believed to possess the supernatural ability to connect with ghosts. They cross paths with a visionary French producer while performing in Paris. Natalie Portman and Lily Rose-Depp try their hardest in this Fantasy Drama but the execution as a whole? i'ts hollow and a bit empty in general with the story being bland and boring, the rest of the cast and the performances in general going on the same path and the overall film wasn't that good at all. Plus whoever thought that Rose-Depp and Portman should have played the sisters instead of a mother and her child probably never has seen a movie in their lives. (0/10)

Seen at the Viennale 2016: it started grandios. The intro, the first pictures with Natalie Portman, the music. I was thinking and expecting: 'Ah, now this starts good! This will be a great movie!' And with this good feeling I waited 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, then 60, then 90. But it did not happen. The plot did not come to any conclusion. Did not aim for a certain direction. Okay, a man believes into the supernatural abilities of two sisters and destroys his life with that belief. But he would have been destroyed anyway, because he did wrong with business money. But also Nazis would have destroyed him. Seems, I did not get the point what this movie was all about.

The movie, despite being beautifully shot, was boring. Natalie Portman and Lilly-Rose Depp were both great in the film, Lilly-Rose Depp especially, but sadly their great acting, and good cinematography, the plot was so boring that I could barely force myself to stay awake. Covering the story of two sisters who can communicate with the dead, this movie starts with promise. The mystery of their ability, and the stellar performances from the two lead actresses carry you through the first half hour or so, but quickly their good performances are over shadowed by the bad performances from the supporting European actors, most of who were heavily accented and clearly didn't speak french as their first language. I waited over an hour in pouring rain at TIFF to see this film and regret every second of time wasted waiting and watching. Do not recommend this movie for anyone
