Customer Reviews of The Other Sister

Sweet, touching, and very- well acted! Excellent!!!
The Other Sister is a romantic comedy/ drama about the special relationship between two mentally impaired young people- Carla (Juliette Lewis), who just came back from 8 years in a special school, and wantd to proof she can now handle on her own and be independent, and Daniel (Giovanni Ribisi), a sweet young man who falls in love with Carla after she helps him with the vicious students in theyr Politechnic school. Of course things aren't perfect for the special couple- in their way stand Carla's overprotective mother (Diane Keaton), and Daniel's financial problems. The movie doesn't have actual plot, it mainly talks about Carla's journey on her way for normal, happy, independent life, life that she never had, and focuses on the main event on Carla's life- her relationship with Danni.

Juliette Lewis is great as Carla, real and strong, and Giovanni Ribisi's Danni is very well- acted. Ribisi managed to talentedly create a charming, sweet and sensitive Danni, and He, Lewis, and both of them together will make you laugh, cry,be touched and make The Other Sister a movie that you will not forget for a long time.

Fantastic!!! Ribisi deserves and Oscar!!!
This movie made me feel GOOD. I watched it 3 times and now after i returned it to the video store i miss it like hell... I gotta buy it! This is the best movie i've seen in my life! On the first time i watched it it looked like another kitsch romantic comedy to me, but i found out that this is the kind of movies that you only really appreciate after the 2nd or 3rd time. I cried, i laughed, this movie touched me so bad i decided to totally change my point of view about mentally challenged people, and i htink i may even go and volunteer in the Israeli retard organisation... This movie totally changed my point of view about these special people, and even about myself- it showed me they and WE can do anything we like if we really want to. Juliette Lewis was not bad as Carla, the main character, but she focused on the verbal espect of retardness and her movements staied pretty much like a regular girl's, so lots of time she just looked kind of pathetic, like a normal actress trying too hard to look like a retard... But if you want an example for a realistic, excellent, outstanding performance- put your eye on Giovanni Ribisi (Daniel). He gave one of the best performances i've ever seen in this movie. As a beginning actress i know how hard it is to play mentally handicaped peoples' roles, and he did it just perfectly! He had it all: the talking, stummering, walking, eye movements, facial expressions, even the way he laughed was a little innocent child's laughter. His whole body says innocense and vulnerability, and he's just so sweet and tender you just want to take him home with ya... (: He's just amazing, he even talks about sex and his sexual experiences- and it still sounds innocent and childish. You can see exactly what he feels and thinks on his face, and in my opinion he's the real star of the movie. His roll may not be as big as Lewis', but he makes it million times bigger! He deserves and Oscar, and the guys who sit up there and give this award to all thouse boring actors and movies- you better open your eyes, because i've followed Giovanni Riisi for a LOOONG time now, and i'm talking about an actor who never gave a performance that was less then excellent, so come on!!! For once in you life give this Oscar to someone who really deserves it!!!
