kosmasp Love thy sister, even and especially if you guys are different. Same goes for brothers I reckon and you kinda get both here (more or less). But this concentrates on relationships, friendships and life in general (growing old and other things). The script is good, with maybe the exception of some "quiet time", that could've been shorter, because we do get the point. But it's very well acted throughout and the point is still made.The script/dialog is good and the situations the characters find themselves in feel genuine. You might think that some things come off as strange, but you may not have the whole picture yet ... though some things are very obvious, it does not hurt (the flow of) the movie! Not out with big effects or anything, this is a slow burner
sesht Love Rosemarie DeWitt. Love Emily Blunt. They're the sisters.The plot's nothing home to write about, its all about the interactions, the characterization and the acting - Emily Blunt has a good friend, played by Mark Duplass, basically a kinda jerk, who's going thru 'issues'. She allows him to stay at their family's log cabin, where he assumes he will be alone. But, the sister, Blunt's character's that is, is also there. Hijinks ensue? :-). Maybe. However, she's gay. Within a coupla days, Blunt lands. That's it.All my sarcasm apart, I loved watching the characters interact, in spite of the fact that this is mumblecore kingdom, and nothing much really happens. However, this one skirts the boundary that separates this one from made-for-Lifetime-TV fare, and does that with a flourish. I'm sure it has as much to do with the quality of acting on display as well. Blunt and Dewitt are (if they're not, they should be) every man's (wet0 dream, and putting them in the same movie, in roles that are as meaty as anything can get, is a stroke of genius. Duplass plays the perfect foil for both, and it helps that he's not all painted in white. Each character has shades of grey, that makes us dread about all the hurt that's gonna be going' around, and we want all of these characters to come out happy in the end, and that's pure, dumb naiveté. There are some who'll feel that this plot should have had more meat, but I was OK with what it was about. It's also a good addition to Lynn Shelton's filmography, which includes Humpday (Mark Duplass again) and Touchy Feely (DeWitt again).Perhaps there's no need to catch this one at the multiplex (And I'd argue against that, since the cinematography's right up there - the movie looks and sounds real good), but I'd definitely recommend one viewing.
dmanning9 I am getting very tired of wasting hours of my life watching people "talk". What is it with all this indie snooze fest movies lately? Everything is long and drawn out. I kept tuning the movie out and doing other things because I lost interest. I am supposed to write at least 10 lines in order to submit my review and I honestly can not even figure out what to write because this movies was so blasé. It doesn't deserve 10 lines. Sigh... Lesbians, sperm donor talk, people screwing people for stupid reasons, this is really just all to much for me for to take in. Do people really do stupid things like this? I do not find this believable.
Gordon-11 This film is about a man who gets invited to a country house by his best friend, where he sleeps with his best friend's sister after a drunken night."Your Sister's Sister" is close to a single location film with a minimal number of characters. Most of the film takes place in a house with only three people. For a film like this to be good, either the characters have to be interesting, or the plot has to be emotionally intense. "Your Sister's Sister" is unfortunately neither. The plot lacks tension or emotional climax. It is just too plain to sustain attention or interest. Mark Duplass portrays an unlikable loser, and yet he gets all the adoration from the two sisters which is rather unbelievable. Rosemarie DeWitt plays a selfish woman, and she is not likable either. Emily Blunt's character is the only interesting character, but she is not enough to save the uninteresting plot or characters. It is unfortunate that "Your Sister's Sister" is an underwhelming drama, as it could have been a lot more than it currently is.
