It does offer an appreciably even-handed, non-judgmental panorama of teens and adults flailing their way toward a place of greater empathy and understanding ...

Even with sections recalling both "The Crucible" and an "Afterschool Special," it still fashions a story that's fairly fresh and often absorbing.

Ken Jaworowski, New York Times

The film has an odd pace to it, relying on genre expectations to hurtle headlong into the story initially, but it ultimately ends up defying those expectations with its messages about online bullying, predatory media and more.

Caryn Waechter's debut feature is instead a piercing portrait of adolescent rebellion and alienation.

It's not quite The Crucible, but this Sisterhood works, creating a bit of poignant witchcraft of its own.
