The summary for Zach Clark\u2019s new indie flick Little Sister<\/em> walks a razor\u2019s edge of \u201ccould be great, could be awful.\u201d Addison Timlin stars as ex-goth, now aspiring nun C0lleen, who receives an urgent email from her estranged mother (Ally Sheedy). Her brother (Keith Poulson), disfiguringly wounded in Iraq, has come out of the hospital, but he won\u2019t talk to anyone. Will Colleen come home, reconcile with her family, help her brother reenter normal life, and figure out if she\u2019s really ready to take her final vows?<\/p>\n

The movie\u2019s opening isn\u2019t promising. Colleen (white, obviously) proves her goodness of spirit by buying food for a (black, obviously) homeless woman, who exists to be black and homeless and grateful. But this is a rare off-key note in an otherwise beautifully balanced, charming, weird and gentle film.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
