Wirkola, DP Jose David Montero and VFX supervisor Bryan Jones combine the performances within the frame in strikingly seamless fashion - not just for Rapace but also for Clara Read, who plays the tween version of the sisters in flashback scenes that show precisely what kind of sacrifices their ruse requires. Differentiated by hairstyle and attitude, the sisters include martini-sipping platinum blonde Saturday, plain-Jane tech whiz Friday, and rebellious Thursday. Though the material defines some of the women more clearly than others, Rapace clearly relishes the chance to dig into multiple roles. Back in their sprawling bunker of an apartment, they revert to their real personalities, sharing takeout meals of roasted rat as a break from the usual GMO fare. Each woman goes out in the world as Karen Settman on the day of the week that coincides with her name.
The seven sibs, named for the days of the week by the grandfather ( Willem Dafoe) who raised them, have survived the clampdown by sharing a public persona. Then again, “cryosleep” might just be double-speak for euthanasia. The Child Allocation Bureau, headed by a garden-variety toxic bureaucrat ( Glenn Close), enforces the one-child policy by sweeping up siblings wherever it finds them and putting them in the deep freeze of suspended animation, presumably until the planet’s climate, food and population crises have subsided. Rapace plays a superhero team of sorts, without the superpowers - 30-year-old sisters living double lives in an unidentified metropolis of the European Federation.
