Written on October 23, 2020

'My Little Sister' is certainly harrowing at times, never shying away from the expected trauma of a terminal illness, but it is the constant nurturing of Lisa that really gives this film the weight it needs. For all of the films that focus on cancer, there just aren't that many from the carer's perspective, and even fewer told through the eyes of a sibling. There are literary and classical references woven throughout, and while often they are too on the nose and take the audience out of focus, they are still a clever device that allows Chuat and Reymond to achieve their goal. For an emotional, moving and sensitive narrative, 'My Little Sister' generally hits the right notes, and even when it doesn't, the calibre of performances make it a worthwhile viewing experience.
