Fabiana Tiscornia’s latest Argentinian film, (Un)lucky Sisters, has just hit Netflix, and it’s the kind of dramedy that’s perfect for kicking off a fun weekend. Tiscornia, who previously won the Special Jury Award at the Málaga Spanish Film Festival for The Queen of Fear, is back with a film that’s already turning heads. (Un)lucky Sisters might not have the most out-of-the-box premise, but it’s the execution that really makes this movie stand out. If you’re in the mood for a breezy, entertaining watch, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s dive into what makes this movie a must-watch!
Jesi and Angela Stumble Upon a Fortune!
As the title hints, the “sisters” in this movie are both lucky and unlucky in different ways, which becomes clear right from the opening scene. We’re introduced to Jesi, Angela, and a mysterious suitcase that sets the tone for the movie.
Jesi and Angela are half-sisters who have never met before, united for the first time at the morgue to identify their father’s body—only to realize they can’t, because they never knew him. Jesi is more interested in what their father might have left behind, while Angela insists on being respectful, setting the stage for the bickering and underlying tension between them.
A Surprise Inheritance
After their father’s funeral, the sisters decide to check out his apartment, only to discover he was wealthier than they could have imagined. This realization is the catalyst for the movie’s events, with the added twist of a looming lawsuit mentioned by their father’s secretary, though the details are left vague.
The film is beautifully paced, with just enough intrigue to keep you invested from start to finish. The discovery of a wall stacked with cash serves as the perfect plot twist, especially considering neither Jesi nor Angela is particularly happy with their current lives. As the movie unfolds over a tight 80 minutes, it introduces a host of quirky characters, unexpected plot twists, and a rollercoaster of emotions that make it a standout in the dramedy genre.
The drama ramps up when Jesi decides to run off with some of the cash, but this is just the beginning of their complicated sisterhood. The film keeps you guessing about what will happen next, all while delivering laughs and heartwarming moments.
Conclusion
(Un)lucky Sisters is the ideal pick for a relaxed weekend watch. This upbeat dramedy offers sibling rivalry, unexpected bonding, and a lot of money-related chaos. It’s unfiltered fun that will keep you glued to your Netflix screen from start to finish. We’re sure Fabiana Tiscornia will earn plenty of praise for her work on this charming film.
