A TALE OF TWO SISTERS didn't work for me. I approached it as a horror film and, aside from a couple of jump-scares, it didn't manage to get under my skin. Rather than spending the movie in a state of mounting dread, I spent it in confused impatience. Since the movie didn't give me enough clues to even guess what was going on, I found myself marking time until the reveal. When the reveal did come, it let me down. Instead of feeling deliciously afraid, I felt cheated.
On the plus side, the movie is beautifully photographed, the sets and costumes are gorgeous, and the actress who plays the stepmother role is a knockout. You can't win 'em all.
