It's not easy to classify Maximilian Schell's occasionally clumsy but always touching tribute to his actress sister, and it's equally difficult not to be moved by it.
08/20/04
It's unpleasantly bitter (Maximilian had to sell his art collection to keep her out of the poorhouse and he's not happy about it), rather ghoulish, supremely depressing and, considering her condition, a criminal invasion of the woman's privacy.

It is meant to be a loving and sad portrait of a fading life, but it feels intrusive, excessively brooding and narcissistic.
08/06/04
Top CriticIt's difficult to witness the disintegration of a personality; unfortunately, watching My Sister Maria inspires the question, 'Why was this film made?'
07/20/04
My Sister Maria is a strange bouquet, a sort of pre-memorial.
07/16/04
Bbrave, heartless, and exceedingly strange.
07/09/04
Top CriticAa heartfelt but eccentric, pseudo-documentary.
07/03/04
Top CriticMaximilian's narcissistic examination of his theatrical family -- to the degree that he shows us photos of ancestors even he doesn't know -- can be boring, and his creative license with the truth is kind of troubling.
06/18/04
Top CriticFeels less like a tribute and more like a chance for Maximilian to play the caring savior.

Top CriticA thoughtful look backward, a summing up that attempts to understand what is ephemeral and what truly lasts, what it is that matters in the final analysis.
06/10/04
Top CriticAs tense and fractured, as alienating -- and, finally, touching -- a work as it undoubtedly ought to be.
