'Line Sisters' Review: Lifetime's mystery movie offers a wild and scary ride
Lifetime's 'Line Sisters' is, essentially, a fun, fast-paced thriller from director Tailiah Breon and writers Jasmine S Greene and Scott Mullen. The movie also explores the complexity and strength of a Black Female friendship.
'Line Sisters' follows the tale of four sisters Valerie (LeToya Luckett), Cassandra (Kierra Sheard-Kelly), Simona (Ta'Rhonda Jones), and Dominique (Drew Sidora). The four 30-something ladies plan to go on what's supposed to be a fun, relaxing, and joyful 'Black Greek' beach weekend. But unluckily, these women fall victim to some unsettling pranks and deadly attacks on their weekend vacation. The sisters began to worry that something hazardous and unusual was going on, perhaps something that had a connection to a tragedy in their past. If you like the movie's plot, you can add other Lifetime movies like 'Single Black Female',' Deadly Ex Next Door', and 'Killer Stepmom' to your watch list. Moreover, 'Line Sisters' is among the three productions from last year, including FOX TV drama 'Our Kind of People' and Hallmark's 'Christmas in Harmony' that narrates the tale of Black People.
