Avoiding mawkish trappings, terminal illness drama “My Little Sister,” from directing duo Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond — Switzerland’s contender for the international feature film Oscar — centers on a woman whose ties to men and her mother have impacted her professional fulfillment.
Twins born to an artistic family, Lisa (Nina Hoss) and Sven (Lars Eidinger), an actor fighting cancer, understand each other best through storytelling. The screenplay’s nimble delivery of exposition in organic dialogue illuminates how their presence in each other’s lives reliably saves them from their respective woes.
