The buttoned-down, superstitious Kay is attempting to lead a normal existence with her new boyfriend Louis. That’s until Sweetie, her rampaging, devil-may-care sister, returns home after an absence, exposing the rotten roots of their family and placing a strain on Kay and Louis’ relationship.

The magnificent debut from Jane Campion, Sweetie is a haunting study of a family on the brink of disintegration. With its densely textured mise-en-scène and lyrical poeticism, this heart-wrenching tale of sexual repression is an artistic statement of intent from one the greatest working directors.
