Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

Brave, heartless, and exceedingly strange, a quasi-documentary in which the actor Maximilian Schell mercilessly violates the privacy of his older sister, Maria. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

A thoughtful look backward, a summing up that attempts to understand what is ephemeral and what truly lasts, what it is that matters in the final analysis. Read full review

Lael Loewenstein

A tender, achingly poignant portrait of the Austrian actress Maria Schell, My Sister Maria is a valentine from her younger brother Maximilian. Read full review

Janice Page

Artful, especially in the ways it avoids sentimentality and employs vintage film clips of truly riveting performances...But Maximilian's narcissistic examination of his theatrical family -- can be boring, and his creative license with the truth is kind of troubling. Read full review

Desson Thomson

A heartfelt but eccentric, pseudo-documentary tribute to his sister Maria. Read full review

William Arnold

In many ways this is an extraordinary movie: there's probably never been such a portrait of a major star in the grip of old age. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Deeply personal and deeply silly. Read full review
