A new film sheds light on how sibling rivalry can turn your closest friend into your most hated foe, writes Deirdre Reynolds
She’s supposed to be your closest friend and confidante. Yet in reality, she’s often the biggest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.
The latest film to hit cinemas here shows how the harmless hair-pulling that goes on between young sisters across the world can degenerate into full-blown battle.
Based on the best-selling novel by Philippa Gregory, The Other Boleyn Girl charts one of the most explosive cases of sibling rivalry in history. It tells the tale of aristocratic sisters Anne and Mary Boleyn, who went to war over sex-mad monarch King Henry VIII in the 16th century. And the true story, starring Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, reveals how women who are flung together by birth can wind up becoming bitter rivals rather than bosom buddies.
