Sweetie
ComedyDrama100 min
A woman in her twenties tries to hold together a fragile sense of order while her family keeps sliding toward chaos. Her parents are tangled in old habits and grievances, and the biggest disruption is her sister Sweetie, whose volatility turns every visit into a struggle for attention, control, and survival. What starts as ordinary family strain grows more jagged as buried resentments surface and the household bends around Sweetie’s unpredictable behavior. Genevieve Lemon and Karen Colston anchor a story where affection, rivalry, and damage live side by side, and every attempt at stability seems to make the cracks show more clearly.
