Maria, Pinuccia, Lia, Katia, Antonella. The childhood, adulthood and old age of five sisters born and raised in an apartment on the top floor of a small block in the suburbs of Palermo, where they live alone, without their parents. A home that bears the marks of the time that passes, as do those who have grown up in it and still live there. The story of five women, of a family, of who goes, who remains and who resists.

You know that feeling when someone’s smacking their lips while eating and all you want to do is slap them so hard they bounce off the floor? That’s basically this movie. The Italian stereotypes are cranked up so high that The Macaluso Sisters feels less like a family drama and more like an exorcism of the Macaluso sisters.

Ugh, I almost forgot about this pigeon poop on the windowsill. The worst Italian schlock, extortion, tastelessness, overkill, and an utterly cretinous coffin ride scene that I have privately listed as a 2020 discharge.
