The Other Sister

The Other Sister (1999) is a drama-romance you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Garry Marshall and starring Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton, Tom Skerritt, and Giovanni Ribisi. US production, 130 minutes.

Carla Tate comes home after years at a special residential school — intellectually disabled, fiercely determined, and dead set on living her own life: her own apartment, college classes, a real job. Her mother has other plans. Then Carla meets Daniel, who has the same diagnosis and none of the doubt. What starts as friendship turns into something neither of them expected, and the people around them aren't sure what to make of it.

Marshall treats his characters with warmth rather than pity, and Lewis gives a performance that never tips into caricature. Keaton is equally sharp as a mother whose protectiveness edges into control. Stream The Other Sister (1999) online on iFILM in good quality.
