Little Sister

A confused young nun (Addison Timlin) reluctantly returns home after receiving a letter from her estranged mother informing her that her brother is back. Upon arriving in Asheville, N.C., she finds her old bedroom exactly as she left it: painted black and covered in goth posters. Mom and dad (Ally Sheedy and Peter Hedges) are glad to see her, but her big brother is living as a recluse in the guest house after returning from the Iraq war. This dysfunctional family comedy is sweet, cynical and adds a slight political bent to its tale of redemption and reconciliation. 91 minutes Unrated.
