Movie Review
Grade: C
Zus & Zo is the Netherlands film that was nominated for Best Foreign Picture in March, as it tells the story of three sisters who plot to stop their brother's wedding, as he is getting married to a woman yet they know he is gay; he is getting married for the sole reason of inheriting money. While the movie does touch on some semi-powerful homosexual themes, there is nothing overwhelmingly powerful (or funny) in the movie, especially nothing so much as to warrant an Oscar nomination.
