Our take
A deeply compassionate sibling drama that swept the board at the Swiss Film Awards, this intimately observed tale of terminal illness swerves cliché at every turn. Boasting a pair of superb performances from Lars Eidinger and the inimitable Nina Hoss, My Little Sister is a tender, understated gem.
