From David Mumpower @ Box Office Prophet:
"The Sisters" - The classic early 20th century Anton Chekhov work, Three
Sisters, is the source material for this modern theatrical adaptation. The
classic work of Russian literature examined the lives of three sisters who
too frequently fantasized about the lives they were not leading. In the
process, the women all grew unable to effect change in their lives, instead
achieving a level of soul crushing stagnation.
The Sisters as a movie explores similar themes. Set at a Manhattan college,
it tracks the lives of three sisters who are regretful urbanites. All of
the women long for the simpler life they left behind when they moved from
Charleston, South Carolina. In the process of discussing their situations,
all three ladies bluntly reveal family secrets and personal misperceptions.
Their brutal honesty is the only real hope the women have of escaping their rut"
