[1] The film tells the story of two sisters who live a self-contained existence until the arrival of a stranger throws their ordered life into chaos.
Viola goes back to writing, while Marie places her rocking chair in front of the door, hums a tune, and holds the key in her hands.
[4] The film uses mainly green and black colours on screen, which depict heavily stylized and distorted features to the characters.
[6] Leaf also painted directly on to film to add the appearance of blood when the unknown man cuts his finger.
[7] Several themes including the influence of a stranger, dependent relationships, and outside perceptions were an interest to Leaf in the making of the film.
Jeff Dick of the Library Journal called Two Sisters a "poignant story, highly recommended for film collections.
