Plot Summary
A pair of abused and neglected teenage girls almost get away with murder in Perfect Sisters, a riveting true-crime thriller based on the notorious “Bathtub Girls” case. Sisters Sandra and Beth learned early in life that they had no one to depend on but each other. But when their addict mother Linda makes plans to move the girls in with her lecherous and abusive lover, the girls’ situation becomes unbearable. Seeing no other way out, Sandra and Beth recruit their classmates to help them plan their mother’s murder. When the girls’ guilt spins out of control and they compulsively confess their involvement to friends, rumors that they are cold-blooded killers reach the ears of the authorities. Perfect Sisters is a harrowing and heartbreaking look at the teen subculture that nurtured the girls’ murderous fantasies and covered up for them after they committed an unthinkable crime in an effort to create a normal life for themselves.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A cartoonish and crudely staged dramatization of a disturbing true crime.
Rotten: Any potential for an in-depth examination of the adolescent psyche pushed to its limits goes unmet, though not for lack of trying.
Rotten: This kind of thing requires a velvet touch, though director Stanley M. Brooks hits only hammer-heavy notes.
Rotten: There must have been a better way to enter into this promising script than with cheesy kite-flying on the beach and slo-mo waves.
Customer Reviews
Georgie Henley is AMAZING
I have been a huge fan of Georgie since 2005 when she played Lucy Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia, and I thought she did an amazing job portraying Beth in Perfect Sisters. It was a completely different role for her and I thought she nailed it. Her American accent was very good, and if that was my first time seeing her, I wouldn't have thought she was British.
Overall, I thought the movie was very good. The story was very believable (except for the girls imagining the perfect mother; I thought that was a bit strange). I had heard about Perfect Sisters coming out for quite some time now, since 2011 I think, and I was so excited that finally 4 years later, I'd get to see it. I highly suggest watching the movie. I just bought it yesterday, and I've already watched it 3 times.
Not very good.
The movie is not good, especially if you pay $9.99 to rent it. It's like a made-for-TV movie.
Perfect Sisters
Terrible movie.
