ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
brucetwo-2 I kind of enjoyed this film at first. But--Geeze--by the middle of the movie I just felt: "Get away from these crazy manipulative neurotic women, Guy! Run as fast as you can." That he comes back by the end and wants to be part of their lives made me think--'Oh well--this is nothing more than a big Chick-Flick wish-fulfillment fantasy.' --Not real life.The part about the cute younger chick and her untrimmed pubic hair and her easy sleeping around, but now she thinks she loves this guy in the film--who needs someone like her? She doesn't seem to know what she wants or who she is--just more self-indulgent soap opera really. By the end her nuttiness far outweighs her cuteness--ugh!!! In her own way she is as sneaky and manipulative as her older sister.This whole movie had the look and feel of a "Canadian" film. And I can't help wondering if the filmmakers were all Catholics or ex-Catholics--the point of sex and romance in this movie being procreation and Home-building and "Redemption." The Pope would smile.
jackiebrown859 I really enjoyed this movie. I've never written a review before, but had to for this one. Filmed in 12 days? Unbelievably well done. The interaction of the three main characters was s-o...r-e-a-l. Emily Blunt (love her accent), Rosemarie Dewitt and Mark Duplass effortlessly became three characters who could be anyone you know in your own town. The chemistry of their different relationships with each other was fresh and flawless, especially as they evolved. The comedic moments were well delivered, and the pulling-at-the-heartstrings moments, very real. The rustic cottage and waterfront location in Seattle where most of the movie took place was just beautiful. From Filming to Sound, my hat is off to Lynn Shelton the Writer and Director, and the entire cast and crew. I will enjoy watching this again. Thank you!
Avid Climber Your Sister's Sister is your independent take on relationship, which is much closer to life than Hollywood's.The good. Extremely realistic reactions and chain of events. Superb ending, just right. Heartfelt. Interesting and refreshing story. Good acting. Nice twists and turns in the scenario.The actors. All three give us nice performances, but Emily Blunt really shines a little brighter. She's so lovable.The bad. The intro is awkward. Some of the camera work is below par.The ugly. Him looking at the mother and kids at the diner. Unnecessary, distracting, and in a style not keeping with the rest of the film.The result. I highly recommend to everyone who likes movies that are different and don't require a lot of action.
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.
