Sister Aimee

It's about the story Aimee creates of her life, the stories the people in her life tell about her, and the way we choose to tell stories of the past.

It broke my heart that this movie is kind of a letdown.

The filmmakers sometimes fail to follow through on the more interesting parts of their story, but a novel approach to the material mostly compensates for the drier stretches.

An interesting take on self-invention with an impressive cast that carries it through, Sister Aimee is a period piece that packs a real punch.
