The 12 Lives of Sissy Carlyle (2017)
A comedy about the aftermath of grief
18 November 2020 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
A soaring score and beautiful cinematography embroider a story about a group of twenty-somethings adrift in Atlanta. At the heart of the tale is an estranged pair of siblings traumatized by their parents' sudden death a few years before. Both brother and sister are quirky as well as grief-stricken. He is hard to pin down about his various, questionable pursuits. She lives in her imagination, describing fantastic exploits in her journals, which he reads without permission. The two eventually open their hearts to each other's imperfect selves. In today's trauma-filled world, that's a happy ending!
