Shallow, dull, and ineffectively updated for modern audiences, The Sisters takes Chekhov's classic source material and renders it dramatically inert.

What we can guess, watching the film, is that the same players would make a good job of Three Sisters but are undermined by the faculty club, which works like a hotel lobby. There's no way to sustain dramatic momentum here. May 19, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Instead of anti-melodrama laced with surprising moments of comedy, which Chekhov managed, The Sisters settles for bloodless melodrama. May 18, 2006 | Rating: 1/4

Anyone looking for the playwright's undeniable insight into the female psyche is unlikely to find any such specimen here. May 12, 2006 | Rating: 1/4

[Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters'] egacy of stifled dreams and inter-familial anxieties are as relevant as ever. Updating it, however, should involve more than adding incest, lesbianism and the uncontrolled venting of spleen. Apr 14, 2006 | Rating: 2/4

Many films have already tread through the gloomy garden paths that "The Sisters" takes. But it confirms that watching Maria Bello act in many guises is one of the great pleasures of the movies. Jul 16, 2006 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Just goes to show you that you can be rich, smart, beautiful, and accomplished ... and still be as miserable as us middle-class drones. Jun 23, 2006 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Bello is phenomenally good as the embittered Marcia, while Stuart and Christensen do their best with their less complex roles, but they're all undermined by Alfieri's shrill, mannered dialogue and cliched backstories. Apr 14, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

We never tire of watching these actresses (particularly Bello, who's utterly convincingly playing one of those sexy, crazy, intelligent women men go bonkers for). And the movie, though flawed, remains absorbing and, in a ridiculous way, fun. Apr 14, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4
