When the world started to talk about The Better Sister, we just knew that Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Biel were involved. That was all we needed to know. Judge away, but two talented actresses playing sisters – we’re sat.
We’re paying attention.
The official synopsis, “Chloe (Biel), a high-profile media executive, lives a picturesque life with her handsome lawyer husband Adam (Corey Stoll) and teenage son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan) by her side while her estranged sister Nicky (Banks) struggles to make ends meet and stay clean. When Adam is brutally murdered, the prime suspect sends shockwaves through the family, reuniting the two sisters as they try to untangle a complicated family history to discover the truth behind his death.”
We admit, we weren’t sure it was going to be a thriller, but it definitely looks that way. Sisters are complicated, and the sheer fact that this is a movie about sisters, we should have known.
