Movie Haiku:Knowing the “back story” helps (Breillat’s older sister is a popular French actress), but this is still a pretty unpleasant experience. The eponymous younger sister is treated with contempt & hostility by both her mother & her sister, but is avenged (well, kinda sorta) at the end. Brutally frank sexuality.
