Plot

A woman's sister arrives and upends her life.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jane Campion's debut is a quirky, unsettling comedy about a woman whose chaotic sister crashes into her life. Strange, funny and visually bold, with Genevieve Lemon unforgettable, it shows Campion's offbeat vision early.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
