Film Review: Sisters of the Road

October 06, 2008 "Sisters on the Road" takes the dog-eared formula of the odd couple on a road trip, and bends it out of recognition with a twist that would give many viewers a double take. Director Boo Ji-young's slightly over-stylized film language is offset by her solid ability to elicit dynamic performances from a professional cast. Shot over two days, urban yuppie Myung-eun's contempt for her fishmonger sister's bumpkin manners and happy-go-lucky ways erupts into constant cat fights that reflect their individual personalities and hang-ups with a mixture of droll humor and absorbing drama.
