Sundance Review: Your Sister’s Sister

Score:A-

Director:Lynn Shelton

Cast:Emily Blunt, Mark Duplass, Rosemarie DeWitt

Running Time:90.00

Rated:NR

Admitting
love is never easy; especially when friendship and siblings are involved. Your Sister's Sister follows the story
of Jack, a young man who has recently lost his brother. His best friend Iris (Blunt)
invites him to her father's cabin off the coast to relax after his hellish
year.  On his first night he has a
drunken encounter with Iris's sister Hannah, (DeWitt) who shows up to the cabin
unannounced.  From there, things
slide steadily downhill.

Hilariously funny yet horribly
depressing, Blunt, DeWitt, and Duplass absolutely murder their respective
roles. The on-screen chemistry between Iris and Jack is one of a kind, as is
the emotion invoked by all three cast members. The execution isn't easy in
places, but director Lynn Shelton manages to pull off the rather difficult
subject matter with surprising ease. This is easily a film that I would
recommend to others, and absolutely one I would watch again - even if it's just
to study Mark Duplass's wonderful comedic timing.

Your Sister's Sister is competing in the Spotlight category.
