Movie Review
The Other Sister starring Juliette Lewis

A lot of issues are dealt with in this movie - falling in love for the firt time, cutting the apron strings, getting along in a world which can sometimes be cruel.
These are things that most people have to face in life, the difference being that Carla has more obstacles than most of us, and this story is really about how she handles those obstacles and refuses to allow them to overcome.

She is a powerful woman, with some hindrances, yes, but all powerful people have SOME hindrances, don't they? She manages to make her way and retain her wonderful view on life, and inspire others despite the obstacles in her life. She is DIFFERENT - but I wouldn't necessarily say she is "handicapped".

I grew to love her family in this film. None of Carla's family members are perfect, but they all love her. I found this pretty realistic.

Ribisi's acting was, once again, superb, and Ribisi and Lewis were great together. I'd love to see as romantic interests in other films.
