Barlow and Kane Senes, the film’s co-writers and co-directors, slip easily between satiric humour and gory ramifications. They get the genre’s conventions, but with Dee’s committed performance leading the way, they refuse to simply accept them.

It’s far from perfect, but it has a fresh tone and the desire to take risks.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2022

Impressively unpredictable all the way to the bitter end – a very difficult and commendable achievement, in a genre as coded and conventionalised as horror.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2022

Cecilia [Aisha Dee] achieves, within three minutes, one of the strongest and most depressing openings to a movie I’ve seen in a minute.

Sure to be a runaway hit for the social media crazy TikTok generation

| Original Score: 4 | Jun 16, 2022

A clever twist on the morality tales about the dangers of bullying, Sissy has a twisted sense of grisly humor, unleashing some impressively brutal practical effects as its protagonist becomes truly triggered.

There’s a lot going for Sissy. The cast is pretty great, led by Dee. She’s in nearly every scene and boy, the camera loves her.

| Mar 13, 2022

Sissy is a fun and gutsy romp in the playground of horror, employing the genres codes and conventions to construct a hard-to-forget snapshot of the frequently volatile terrain of contemporary feminine identity.
