Seven Sisters

This movie is not without its faults. There are plot holes and some completely unrealistic scenarios. However, I'm not one who looks for every box to be ticked and can let these things slide, as long as the film makes up for it in other aspects such as whether it's enjoyable or not. It does so, in my opinion, with a timely, thought-provoking theme. Also, it is well-paced and there wasn't a dull moment. And Glenn Close was genuinely terrifying.

Let me start by saying that I did not expect this movie to play out the way it did. The acting by Noomi Rapace is nothing but phenomenal. The movie does have the basic, typical plot in regards to the whole dystopia and one child policy that has been seen before. However, the notion of the seven sisters working together to survive was what made this storyline unique. Although Noomi played seven roles, each character had the chance of sharing their story and distinctive traits. I definitely recommend this movie. Netflix pulled this movie out of a hat.

Ignore all the bad reviews, this is a good movie with a bit of everything. It is only entertainment, after all. I honestly think there are some reviewers who simply cannot find anything positive to say about anything, their lives are simply that empty.

The core and everything in this movie is of course Noomi Rapace - she's doing an incredible job of playing seven different personalities, and doing it brilliantly. Other characters (like the "evil" side) are, unfortunately, not developed at all, but the siblings side is amazing. The plot is somewhat guessable (at least the general outcome), but there's plenty of good action and also a tough and controversial discussion about overpopulation - I'll leave it out of this review, but the thoughts from the movie go quite deep into how society could turn one day. That's also connected to the (small) frustration over the lack of other characters development, there's a rich ground for more elaborate story - but that shouldn't stop you from watching this film, it's very good!

Not sure what's not to like about this flick. Unique premise, intriguing plot, plenty of action, and a decent performances from a top notch cast.

If you can't sit back and enjoy then you're taking things a bit too seriously.
