With its blend of terrifyingly intense family bonds and the howling furies of the world outside, this is a great American political film.

A strange, spiky movie that refuses to beg for our affection, Little Sister, the fifth feature from Zach Clark, molds the classic homecoming drama into a quirky reconciliation between faith and family.

Flirting with sitcommy high jinks, Clark instead gives us a bittersweet cocktail of soul-weary defeat and unassuming vigor.

Clark’s fifth feature is marked by his characteristic brand of distorted realism, though a classically redemptive arc — with even a hint of spiked sentimentality — sounds a new note in his oeuvre.

The humor enhances this drive by lightening the weightiness of the Lunsfords’ struggle as well as endearing them as a relatable group not so different from our own families regardless of our personal issues possibly not matching their immense tragedy.

A slight, sweetly cynical indie dramedy about family and belonging and the ways we cope with life’s disappointments.

Clark is a talent to watch. He's made a transfixing film about a family that looks touchingly and unnervingly like yours and mine.

Timlin and Paulson create a believable rapport as the central siblings, though it’s Sheedy’s chemistry with the camera (and her character) that creates the film’s most dramatically satisfying moments.

Even without big revelations or surprises, it’s not without its charms. “Little Sister” levitates above the trite and banal, even if it never quite takes flight.

The film's attempt at political insight and portrayal of social malaise are meant to give it the illusion of depth.
