Tonight With Friends: This unjustly forgotten sci-fi movie from 7 years ago deserves your full attention

The world is overpopulated. A million people are born every four days. In response, the government announced the one-child policy. Years later, the woman dies giving birth to seven children. Their father, Terence Setman (Willem Dafoe), decides to raise them in secret, against the law and the risk of severe punishment by the Bureau of Birth Benefit.

He names each girl after a day of the week and confines them to his apartment. They each go out only one day a week and share the same identity. This well-oiled machine lasts for 30 years until Monday disappears…

Hitting theaters in the summer of 2017, Seven Sisters is truly a sci-fi gem that deserves to be seen even if you’re not really a fan of the genre. Noomi Rapace is the star of the movie, which is dubbed seven times on screen sometimes! Perfection in acting and techniques that aren’t just gimmicks and are really cleverly used throughout the story.

“We developed a unique shooting system because we combined several methods”Director Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow, Violent Night) confided in the film’s press kit, “For example, we transplanted one face into another, used split-screen, fixed cameras and doubles, and because Numi has such characteristics, we made masks of her face for the scenes where the sisters are in the background, busy. their computer, cooking or sports”. As for the unlearned, they were trained by Rapace himself to act and behave as he would.

But Seven Sisters doesn’t forget to be an action movie, even with some pretty flashy peaks of violence, and each sister, with different characters and appearances, will have her moment. First of all, the film may fall into a well-defined dystopia, but the film reserves a few surprises and a truly satisfying conclusion. Rediscover it on Prime Video, but fast! You only have 5 days left!
