Mary (Aya Cash) is an addiction counsellor in Toronto with her own drinking problem. She gets suspended after getting a DUI. Her estranged father contacts her and she decides to visit home in Niagara Falls. He's dying of cancer and wants her to get to know her half-sister Robyn. Robyn doesn't know about the cancer.
I really like Aya in her TV show. I expected more sibling comedy between her and Robyn but that happens much later. Instead, it's kinda like a low-energy meandering indie. Aya is still able to pull out a couple of comedic moments. This movie needs more stakes and more tension. If the sisters have more time together, that could be achieved with some better writing. They need something to elevate the material to make it funnier and more compelling. It might help if I'm not as confused about the climatic reveal.
score 5/10
