It’s not without its quirks (and occasional pacing issues), but Sister Aimee is a true original — apparently, just like its namesake. Read full review

Samantha Buck, Marie Schlingmann bring a light touch and a wonderful comedic tone to a story of one hell of a woman. This is a lighthearted comedy about resourceful females far ahead of their time. Read full review

Sister Aimee is a scrappy period piece that supplants the things a bigger budget might have afforded with good choices about things that were under the filmmakers’ control. Read full review

A weird, erratic and occasionally insightful experiment that, unlike its indefatigable star, never quite finds its zing. Read full review

Although written as a supporting role, Suarez Paz’s portrayal of Rey adds depth to the story and ultimately carries the film. So much so that you wish the movie had been about her. Read full review

The gendered themes at play here do little to boost the quality of Buck and Schlingmann’s storytelling, which is too tangled to follow at times. Read full review

Unfortunately, the invention on display is of a helter-skelter variety, as Samantha Buck and Marie Schlingmann’s film so madly lurches about in search of a tone that it feels like the first draft of a gonzo faux-biopic. Read full review

I didn't think the premise was worthy enough to stand as a film, or at least I didn't think it was interesting enough to be made into one, but that issue could be justified if it had at least offered better results.

Sister Aimee is exhausting, boring, and absurd. The narrative is very blandI didn't think the premise was worthy enough to stand as a film, or at least I didn't think it was interesting enough to be made into one, but that issue could be justified if it had at least offered better results.

Sister Aimee is exhausting, boring, and absurd.
The narrative is very bland and it never really got me interested in the material.

So my intuition wasn't wrong.… Expand
