The Argentine film industry is renowned for its originality, and the latest comedy released by Netflix is proving this reputation true. “(Un)lucky Sisters” has quickly climbed into the worldwide Top 10 on the platform, just hours after its release, according to FlixPatrol.
This movie is part of the streamer’s strategy to expand its catalog of Argentine titles, attracting both local audiences and global viewership. Directed by Fabiana Tiscornia, known for her acclaimed drama “The Queen of Fear,” the production showcases her impressive credentials.
Tiscornia also served as an assistant director for two of Argentina’s most celebrated contemporary titles, “The Headless Woman” and “Zama,” under the direction of Lucrecia Martel.
‘(Un)lucky Sisters’ makes it into the global Top 10 on Netflix
While Netflix creates content for viewers of each region, Argentina has established a very strong connection with the platform, producing several successful titles. One notable example is “(Un)lucky Sisters,” which has quickly risen into the global Top 10 on Netflix.
With its high viewership, the film has surpassed hits like “The Intern” and “Why Him?,” and is currently competing with “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” for a higher spot on the chart.
The Argentinian comedy centers on Jésica and Ángela, estranged sisters who reunite after their father’s death, despite having little connection with him. After the funeral, they discover they have inherited an exclusive apartment in Puerto Madero, where they find a surprising fortune in euros.
This inheritance sets off a series of troubles, turning the sisters into fugitives from the police and forcing them to work together to clear up the misunderstanding, all while navigating their strained relationship. The roles are portrayed by Sofía Morandi and Leticia Siciliani, two rising stars in Argentina.
“(Un)lucky Sisters” has received praise from critics, who have lauded it as a solid comedy by Netflix standards. While it may not break new ground in the genre, it delivers entertaining tropes and strong performances from its lead actresses.
