Two sisters have a job working as maids for a lady and her older daughter. At first, the family is thrilled, but over time there is a slow change in the sisters. The begin withdrawing and talking almost never at all with their employers, but they continue doing their job. Then, kind of out of the blue, the sisters begin having hot sex with each other (ewwww). From this point on, they withdraw even more and begin sneaking caresses and kisses when they should be working. As the sisters change, the employers begin to resent and despise having them there--finding fault in most everything they do.
SISTER MY SISTER is based on a true story of two sisters who worked as maids for a lady and her daughter. Unfortunately, this all occurred a long time ago and the dead cannot give their side of the story. So, the film is a dramatization of what they THINK could have occurred leading up to the sisters murdering their employers. And, in the film, you are led to slowly care less and less about the eventual victims--almost excusing how they were so cruelly butchered. This aspect of the film really bothered me, as some might feel excessive connection with the evil events and those who perpetrated it.
Still, despite this, the film is well acted and paced. I just didn't understand the WHY.
