This film had a believable and realistic storyline. The characters Stella (Rebecka Josephson) and Katja (Amy Deasismont) connected as sisters. The fights they had were very realistic and were then balanced by their loving sisterly moments.

This film was very good and was was unlike any other that I had watched. One film that had a similar story is “Perfect Body” directed by Douglas Barr.

This girl is given the offer to train with a leading coach for the U.S. and is then pressured to lose weight by her new coach. The girl chooses to starve herself to prove that she really wants her goal. “My Skinny Sister” was a good film, and I rate it 7/10
