In 'Little Sister,' A Goth Girl Follows The American Dream And Becomes A Nun

“Little Sister ” begins with a Marilyn Manson quote and Ally Sheedy smoking weed. Be still, your beating emo-teen heart.

The Huffington Post is debuting the poster for Zach Clark’s new film , which opens in New York and premieres on VOD platforms Oct. 14. A bittersweet comedy about Colleen Lunsford, a former goth girl who skips town to become a nun, “Little Sister” makes a star out of Addison Timlin (”Californication,” “That Awkward Moment”), who has a Rooney Mara-esque quality in the movie. Sheedy plays her mother, summoning Colleen home after her brother returns from the Iraq War a burn victim. Their dysfunctional North Carolina family must wade through years of resentments, forging an attempt to find harmony.

The poster is illustrated by Akiko Stehrenberger , who has designed one-sheets for “It Follows,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “The One I Love,” among others. Set against the backdrop of the 2008 election, “Little Sister” as its poster shows  encapsulates America’s conflicting ideals, some of which play out in Colleen as she revisits her childhood and configures her new life.
