Reviews

My Sister’s Good Fortune has received mixed reviews from critics. While some commend the heartfelt performances of the cast, particularly Anna Bolk's portrayal of a grounded lawyer and the chemistry between the two sisters, others find the pacing to be slow and the plot predictable. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as 'a sincere and touching exploration of sibling relationships that may resonate with some viewers.' However, IMDb and Metacritic have rated the film 6.1/10, indicating a decent but not outstanding reception. The cinematography and emotional depth of the story have been highlighted as strengths, but some reviewers note that the narrative may lack surprises for more discerning viewers.
