Maybe she was bi because remember at the party they went to she was checking out guys? I think she is very eccentric may be very open-minded to enjoying both sexes.
I think I'm pretty much like you, only successful. -

I didn't catch it when I first saw this some years ago, but just recently I viewed it and I think Maggie makes a comment about it when they are walking to the concert or bar they were going to. I also thought Lisa was Tom's sister not Maggieright.
I also wanted to add that what Dalazen asked wasn't bad he just wanted to know. He didn't say it in a mean way.

yeah, seems to me like a legit question and nothing but juvenile kneeJERK reactions against it i gots nothing to add that hasn't already been said really i just viewed the flick on freetoairtv here and quite enjoyed it. Koepp is quite the proficient screenwriter IMHO and always has subtle depths to his secondry characters to my mind this 'lesbian' angle just showed how open minded the sister was in some respects, but not so in others

I don't know, she's either a dyke or a wiccan, could be both. Sorry for all the defensiveness of everyone. It's a legit question, dosent' matter why it's asked, as it is just a question about character trait

"In an earlier version of David Koepp's script Maggie Witzky's hypnotist sister Lisa was actually a brother called Philip" So says the trivia.
I'm kinda thinking, maybe the scene where Lisa is with that girl was the same in the earlier version therfore a hetrosexual relationship, but once the character was changed the scene wasnt hinting on a bisexual or homosexual relationship.
The only person to really ask the question to is the writer, but while watching the film last night she didnt really come across to me as bi or gay. Infact i was too into Tom's storyline. However the non english speaking girl did throw me a little. -

Apparently the editors didn't think much about it either since "lesbians" is not in the Plot Keywords list (and just about everything else is). Assume that the answer isn't any more necessary than the question

Her Latina Friend, she is Argentinian. I'm from Argentina and that's totally an Argentinian way of talking!

Yes, I did get the feeling she was a lesbian.
What I find amazing, though, is this topic currently has the most responses. Poor underrated Stir of Echoes deserves as much interest as the Sixth Sense.
But, yeah, I think she was a lesbian. -

I also think that she was bisexual. The director wouldn't place that scene if he didn't want us to think about it. Obviously, he wanted us to think - Tom (Kevin Bacon) goes to his sister in law's place, finds her with another beatiful, latina woman. Nothing wrong about her being bisexual, but it is a fact that Koepp was trying to make us wonder, in that particular scene.

I assumed she was a client, and was angry when asked to give up her appointment in favor of Bacon's character.
TBH, the thought of them being lovers never even occurred to me until I read this thread, especially since she was clearly trolling for men earlier in the film.
You asked what was her purpose in the story. What's the purpose in adding a lesbian twist that had zero to do with the rest of the story?
Perhaps someone who speaks Spanish can shed some further light on what happened. -
Tarkus — 16 years ago(June 21, 2009 03:13 PM)
That's my point, that there's no point either way, other than perhaps to show the sister was loyal to her brother in law, such that she'd drop what she was doing in order to help him.
And yes, she could be bi, but that's not really the subject of this thread (literally or figuratively). Lesbians are not sexually attracted to men. Ergo, the answer to the OP is an emphatic NO.
