“Equally hilarious, heartbreaking and heartwarming, with a pitch perfect cast. Such a lovable film.” – Annie, Electric Palace
From acclaimed director Jacques Audiard this is a reimagining of the cinematic Western as a dangerous, witty, and emotionally cathartic exploration of what it means to be a man.
It is 1851, and Charlie and Eli Sisters are brothers and assassins, boys grown to men in a savage and hostile world. They have blood on their hands: that of criminals, that of innocents...and they know no state of existence other than being gunmen. The older of the two, introspective Eli (John C Reilly) rides hard with his younger sibling yet dares to dream of a normal life. The younger, hard-drinking Charlie (Joaquin Phoenix) has taken charge with gusto as lead man on the duo's assignments. Each increasingly questions, and quibbles with, the other's methods. The Sisters brothers find themselves on a journey that will test the deadly family ties that bind. But, can it also be the path to rediscovering what remains of their humanity?
