The film is so unusually moving and penetrating because it refuses to cloud its emotions in distancing irony, anger, or nihilism.

Even with sections recalling both “The Crucible” and an “Afterschool Special,” it still fashions a story that’s fairly fresh and often absorbing.

This movie is a MUST SEE! It addresses many issues facing young women today. This is a movie which shows young women who are empowered, strong, courageous and inspiring. Young women today are bombarded with negative role models and messages. This is one of those rare movies that empowers young women. There is strength in unity and sisterhood! The fact that it was filmed & takes place just 15 minutes from my hometown is an awesome bonus!

The Sisterhood of Night doesn't fully live up to its promise, with its themes never quite coming into focus. But along the way it presents a vivid depiction of teen angst that feels far realer than the usual exploitive Hollywood treatment.

What director Caryn Waechter does best is artfully and lyrically capture moments of teenage abandon where the girls feel free, self-possessed and full of friendship love.

As silly as it is, Sisterhood is smart as well, about the modern draw of victimization and attention, and how people (not just girls, and not just teenagers) who live life on a perpetually scrolling online stage can become starved for validation in any form.

An alternately sensitive and heavy-handed small-town drama that turns the Salem witchcraft trials into a tenuous metaphor for the intense pressures brought to bear on today’s female youth.

It's a sweet, sympathetic film, based on wise and memorable material and featuring inspired performances from its teen cast, but it simply collapses.

Barely a 4. Not a horror movie. And certainly not a movie for adults. Save it for your 12 year old niece or nephew.
