Sisterhood eclipses strained relations

Sisters (Cooke the scheduled city slicker contrasted by Piszel as the spontaneous free spirit) reconnect after fifteen years upon the death of a spouse, and prepare to travel to Nebraska to scatter the late husband's ashes co-inciding with a solar eclipse to honour the wishes of his daughter (Hartley) from whom Piszel has been estranged.Technically, the production opts for a lot of lengthy shots photographed front-on with limited use of tracking or close-up cutaways which makes the film visually bland even if the dialogue is worth listening to. There's only so much to take in watching two women talking, whether it's on a patio, inside a house or cafe, some varied visual perspectives would've helped the momentum.The dialogue seems realistic and there's lots of it; from typical sibling rivalry, playful bickering to more cerebral disagreements that demonstrate a deeply fractured relationship, two now middle-aged women both as close and distant as two sides of the same coin.Uncomplicated in plot details, it has one or two moments that really work, but overall I found it hard work and a little tedious.
