So much of this movie can be explained by the realization in the end that this was filmed in a 24 hour period. In many respects it's actually impressive from a technical standpoint. But as a movie it's all theme and no narration. The story of a women's support group that becomes the target of a misogynistic brotherhood is a great idea. I just got NONE of that on the film. This film could have benefited greatly from more time. It would have revealed that Act 1 going until the 60 minute mark of a 90 minute film is just too long. The ending would have had a lot more punch because it would have been filmed better and edited better.

The acting is fine but the writing and directing feel incomplete. There are shorts that are cut too short leaving you confused. Ironically so many of the answers the film gives you for the many missing narrative gaps are insufficient. The set design is so wanting I can't tell where in the timeline any given scene is taking place. I mean even color grading the flashbacks would have been helpful and I hate the hyper color grading that's so popular in big budget films now. Ironically rather than showcasing that a movie CAN be made in a 24 shoot window this movie shows why you shouldn't film a movie in 24 hours.

I mean even the title "My Sisters" I think is supposed to refer to how the women in the film for a family unit for themselves but it's so incoherent we never see them as a family and it only comes up basically in the final words of the movie.

The fight choreography is trash but again in a touch of irony I don't care about that. The fight choreography tells a story and as bad as it looks it's one of the most clear scenes of narrative in the movie. It was just a strange experience.
