The Other Sister (1999)

Cast: Juliette Lewis (Carla Tate), Diane Keaton (Elizabeth Tate), Tom Skerrit (Dr. Radley Tate), Giovanni Ribisi (Daniel McMann)
For complete cast, see IMDb's The Other Sister page.

The movie about a mentally retarded girl who proves herself more than capable of living her own life in her own apartment is very touching. It's definitely a bit sappy and perhaps more of a chick flick, but if you like movies that move you, this is a good one.

The Other Sister shows the reality of mentally retarded people and how they are often treated in our society (and even in their own families) very well. It really seemed like the situations were based more in how things are in the real world than some of the movies I've seen discussing similar topics.

Grade: B
