This follows the tragic story of a middle aged woman who dresses far too young for her years called Gayle receiving the bad news that her sister has committed suicide . So far so bad but to compound problems it turns out that her sister Rene might have been murdered
The problem with SISTERS AND OTHER STRANGERS is that it doesn't follow a predictable disciplined path . If the TVM had done that it would have been just plain boring and instantly forgettable but someone somewhere has decided to drown the audience with totally unnecessary concepts like mysticism . Yes mysticism where Rene appears and has sentimental ( And I can't emphasise enough who sickeningly sweet these conversations are )touchy feely trips down memory lane . It's heavily insinuated that these conversations are taking place in a metaphysical world and are nothing to do with Gayle's imagination . If that's the case why didn't she ask Rene if she's been murdered , who did it and what was their motive ? Probably because the audience can work this out for themselves before the climax . I'm surprised I put a spoiler warning in here !
