More like a soap opera episode than a movie
31 December 2015
The drama in 'The Sisterhood of Night' really would struggle to pass for decent story lines in an average episode of your favourite soap opera. It's a rather bizarre movie that sets itself up to be something very entertaining and just very slowly fizzles out to nothing more than a bunch of girls being girls and parents being parents.There's one story arc that gets a little heavier than the rest but even that is breezed over pretty forgettably. No element to any of it justified the making of a film.

The acting is pretty average from all the girls. Interesting this was Olivia DeJonge's first film. She has come a long way from here to her very fine performance in M. Night Shyamalan's 'The Visit'. Whether it was his fine direction or just how much she's learnt in that time I'm not sure, but to see her flat and uninspiring performance here caught me quite by surprise. It was a strange film to come across Kal Penn in as well. At first I thought he must've been put in for some comic relief, either that or he was going to turn out to be more important to the story than first met the eye, but neither really turned out to be the case. Overall there's really not a lot to see here.
