This movie is definitely one of my current favorites. What a great plot! Whoever's got siblings see themselves in some parts, but then the psychological and drama grows to the limits and I can't give spoilers here. There's space for laughter, tension, reflection and for getting emotional. And you're able to enjoy it with beautiful photography, soundtrack, and incredibly good acting. "Caroline and Jackie" has earned my respect. Can't wait to see Clark's next movies.

Beautiful, touching and surprising.
waste of time
i thought this movie would be a good one. but man, was i disappointed after watching it. actually the movie started out well. but after a while it got terrible. i almost stopped watching but continued anyway hoping something interesting might happen. but again, i was wrong. after i was done watching it, i still didn't get what this movie was about. what was it that it's trying to depict? bond between sisters? mental health? anorexia? it seems as if every character are a bunch of crazy lunatics. some are crazier that others. which is which i can't seem to tell. this movie could've gone better. as i said it started well. but there were too many twists and turns. it certainly didn't deserve the 6.5 rating.
Great.
An interesting indie film about relationships and mental illness.
It's not a movie that really opens up in the 1st few minutes, or even the 1st hour, you really do have to stick with it to get an idea of what's going on. In the beginning it almost feels like soap story where a evil character comes in starts spreading lies about somebody and ends up having that person ostracized, and as it progress you feel somewhat more confused about what's going on, but the end puts everything into perspective. A lot of what didn't make sense early on, starts to make sense now and you have that moment of connecting the dots and seeing the full picture.
The acting is brilliant, often in movies like this the acting is mediocre or even bad, but everybody here is just great. The writing and directing too is great, all the scenes have a natural feel to them that really pulls you in. It's obvious that this was done on a really low budget and so it's really interesting to see what can be managed with so little.
The mental illness side of this was great and what really interested me in this movie, I hate movies where mental illness are wrongly represented (*cough* Silver Linings Playbook *cough*) and so it's really refreshing to see a proper portrait of personality disorders.
In short, a great indie film, but probably not something mainstream audiences will enjoy.
