- Two estranged sisters prepare for their mother's death.
SISTERS is used with permission from Jessica Brunetto. Learn more at jessbrunetto.com.
Emily has been caring for her ailing mother for some time, taking on the difficult task on her own. It's not an easy life, and Emily has moved back into the family home, leaving her husband and strained marriage behind.
But when her estranged sister Andy arrives for a visit, long-simmering grievances and resentments come to the surface for Emily. Andy leads a full, busy life in Los Angeles as an aspiring actress, absorbed in her affairs, while Emily has put a lot of her own life on hold. But when Andy comes home, the sisters have it out.
Written and directed by Jess Brunetto, this short family dramedy accomplishes the remarkable trick of detailing two characters' arcs with acuity and depth -- no mean feat in a short format. But it does this by yoking their growth to the ebb and flow of their relationship, which is given life thanks to smart, emotionally sharp writing and great performances that balance sharp humor with heartfelt emotion.
Rendered in a subdued, slightly moody naturalistic style, the storytelling sets up each character quickly and precisely, with Emily as the put-upon primary caregiver and Andy as the striving, self-absorbed actress. But the pace ignites when the sisters come together, both bristling with tension. Yet the writing also weaves in moments of genuine sisterly togetherness, which allows us to see how they once were close. Even as adults, they still oscillate between coming together for support while jawing at one another over faults and irritations.
Mary Holland as Andy and Sarah Burns as Emily -- both well-established comedic character actors -- are terrific together, hitting the understated beats of passive aggression that often shield their messy, more vulnerable sides. But, being sisters, there's no way they can hide from one another. And when their truths come out, allowing them to share their troubles, they find a way back to one another, at long last.
There's an acidic endnote to the conclusion of SISTERS, keeping in line with its unvarnished, warts-and-all take on emotion. Recognizing how dark, difficult feelings often exist alongside humor allows the story to be real while neatly sidestepping sentimentality. The result is a funny, heartfelt yet acerbic portrait that is true to the burden of caregivers and the difficulties of infertility, made bearable when shared with a sister who is there for it all, no matter what. - Фільми й анімація
That little smile from Mum at the end. She went happy.
While training to become a nursing assistant, one of the things I learned is that people still hear everything going on in the world around them while in a coma (in fact, all of their senses are fully intact), they just can't open their eyes or respond. I like to think that the mother, hearing her daughters' interactions with each other, was waiting for them to make peace with one another before letting go.
That's all the mom wanted, for them to get along and help one another, the smile on her face told it all and then she dies❤️
Yeah i got that impression aswell , still messed up though that they're talking about stuff they can have when the mum is there dying .
My daughter's are very close. It makes me so very happy 😊
That was everything every emotion. Mom smiling as she moved on A tear fell out of my eye. Great job cast and crew.
They say when someone is dieing that the last thing to go is your hearing... so it makes sense that she was listening. 🥰
It plays almost like a dark comedy. Both kids do not have their life together and they only want to complicate it more with this eerie codependency + throw a child into the mix.
My favorite line that flew under the radar: "I'm in my THIRTIES..." as if her life was practically over.
The flatline of their mom nearly plays like a rimshot. I dig this movie but the humor is so subtle I think most people will see this as a straight up happy ending.
all the comments i saw had me thinking i misunderstood the film, i literally laughed as the flatline noise started
I worked in a LOT of nursing homes and hospitals and I was ALWAYS told THAT even when people appeared to be in a vegetative state..that the sense of hearing was the last to go. So, my patients could have VERY likely been able to absorb the comments of THOSE people who were visitors or staff working around them. This was just a lovely short film. Kudos to how it wrapped up ALL the loose ends in the story! I loved it! Warmest regards from Greensboro, NC.
I loved this! Two of my favourite actresses too❤
The smile on their mother’s face before she passed, said everything.
All she ever wanted was for her daughters to love and support each other, and Andy offering Emily the chance of becoming a mother herself via surrogacy? Was absolutely beautiful❤
Great short! This depicts the sometimes love hate relationship between siblings? Absolutely perfect! Right down to a T💯
Great work!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The drinking problem actress was in The Good Place, and in "The Other Morgan" short film. Happy to see her again. It's a really lovely short film :) Loved the happy ending :)
Thank you. I knew I had seen her before and I was trying to place it.
@@cas4040 You're welcome :)
This made me emotional after a long time❤
Are we just going to ignore the sisters awkward expression at the end? omg. Great video! Thank you!
Just started watching but noticed the T-shirts. Love the 2 colors from Spring. Going to finish watching this and then I’ll be back with my take on it. ❤
Loved this!
i love these two actresses from the shows I've seen them in
they shine so much
That constant red and blue theme 😅 I love Mary Holland-red sister actress. Seen her many movies especially with Kirsten Bell. I'd love to see her do more main roles though.
ta-ra-ra-ra-boom-de-yay that was GOOOOOOD
Priceless!
That was beautiful
The short kind of went back and forth with both sisters apparently from the way their mom raised them caused a lot of trauma in their lives. They would seem to be polar opposites at times, but reconnecting. I truly believe since they really only had each other growing up due to the way their mom did them, they actually loved each other. The part where the one sister became a surrogate and got paid to do it for the other sister, you kind of had to suspend belief. Not the best I’ve seen on OMELETO, but watching it did hold my attention.. That was my least favorite part of this short. Makes me wonder how the surrogate baby will be raised. History has a tendency to repeat itself, and I couldn’tell if they were both pregnant at the end or if she was having twins, or what.
I got the impression the sister is regretting being a surrogate as her face told that, but the other sister is happy.
This is so good on every level and the soundtrack was perfect, the soundtrack can make something that was very good, very special....well done indeed....
Best omeleto in a while I love this ❤❤❤❤
Enormously sweet 💗💗💗💗💗
I loved this!❤
This was a great one👍👍
Brilliant! ❤️
the story lured me in and .... I'm not crying, you're cry 🥺
At least they made up. Sometimes death brings estranged family together and I love stories like that.
I 💜 this comedy.
The 2 sisters clicked.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Yeah ya!
LmaooOoOo momma smiled and died 🤣🤣👍🏾
5/10. glad they came together, but from the literal looks of it (after the credits) you know they're in for a long ride........lol ;)
loved it
Yeah that was an amazing story I love omeleto
"Tah-rah, rah-rah boom-D-Yay, Cheeka Cheeka Cheeka Cheeka Boom-D-yay!"
This film was entertainment - packed!
We got some humor, great plot, and ASMR.
Well done
Yeah, I liked this story. It was great...good acting and a good ending..Mom died smiling...
Not everything is alright, look at the after credits.
Ser uma mãe as vezes é difícil
Always I salute all moms
Credits were too dark at end and can't find much on imb. What is soundtrack/songs?
Finding reconnecting as sister
Cleverly cute 🌹
"Passive aggression", what is it? (I'm the brother of my sister, and the same, or something similar, happened with us concerning our mother's death...)
I was gonna say "Wait until they find out you can't be a surrogate unless you've already had a baby," but I guess it worked out lol 😂
You have to wonder how many people really DO feel this way about their parenting! Yikes!
Regarding the game, I should have had my (3) sister's do this when my Mom passed. I was smart, asked my Dad for the few items I wanted and got them out of the house when no one was looking.
hell of a one /two punch line
why is there no butter under the jam and why is the jam not covering the whole bread?
O M G !!!
I don't have any sisters so this is weird. My brothers did NOT do this with me when my Dad was dying.
It has very little to do with wether you were sisters or brothers it's more because of bad upbringing
I understand. We are difficult when it comes to emotions.
I apologize for all men. Love you sis.
@@Lscott-fk2sn Bad? Feel free to elaborate, because a lot of families struggle with different issues, and handle that in their own way as well
@@glennparker5516 You (men) seem to do okay with emotions. My bros used their wives as cop-outs and would not help take care of him at all. Their wives wouldn't let them.
Nuff said. I was blown away, being raised by the same parents and they let their WIFE tell them they can't drive their Dad to chemo or see him when he's so close to death.
It was gross and I was stone cold sober through it all, with a 2 & 1/2 month old daughter who's father (no contact at all since 2009) laid hands on me.
They are both divorced now.
Sorry for the rant🫤🥹
@@mamapegg edit-this is a reply to your @ me
yeah that's what I mean, if you grow up with a family that hasn't quite sorted out it's issues it leaves an expectation between siblings that it's normal to fight like this all the time.
Why is Gary Oldman playing the mum?
Someone should tell them that the estate, which includes the house and all her mother clothes, jewelry and other belongs, cannot be distributed to her heirs until the will is processed by probate, and an executor can be named. If the mother has a will, it could be months, and if not, years.
Well that could have ended a lot worse than it did.
7:08.
Stop It.
What it that.
Morgan Yardley
The one that takes care of her should get the belongings.
Stop making me have feelings
Wow, that’s got disaster written all over it.
Are they self absorbed because they hated their mother or their own lives?
Advice: don't read the comments before watching the film.. spoilers!!
Why am I thinking that the baby is going to be the reincarnation of their mother?
That would make an awesome sequel 👍
Something out of nothing
Mom’s going to need to be reincarnated into the child- she has more work to do!
thoroughly unpleasant and drunk on its own cliches
Is the character in red trans?
She's never confirmed this, but has been questioned before.
I guess this is entertaining to women....
