Product Description

A year after his brother Tom's death, Jack (Mark Duplass Humpday), an emotionally unstable slacker, is offered by Tom's ex-girlfriend Iris (Emily Blunt, the Adjustment Bureau, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) to take a vacation at her family cabin in the Pacific Northwest so he can seek catharsis in solitude. Once there, however, Jack runs into Iris' sister Hannah, a lesbian reeling from the abrupt end of a seven-year relationship and who finds solace in the affable Jack's unexpected presence. After a long night of drinking that ends with an awkward sexual incident, Jack's bumpy road to recovery is made worse by Iris' sudden presence at the cabin the next morning and the progression of ever-complicated relationships that is then set into motion. With raw, funny and emotional performances from an all-star cast, director Lynn Shelton (My Effortless Brilliance) once again honestly explores the complexities of interpersonal relationships with remarkable humor, sensitivity and warmth.

If you enjoy dialogue movies that are funny, but with an edge, I'd recommend this. It's not a comedy, but has quite a bit of humor in it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, romantic, honest, vistas, music; what's not to like?

Aptly titled, the film only has 3 primary characters. Jack (Mark Duplass) is a man struggling with his emotions and perhaps guilt over the death of his beloved brother a year earlier. His best friend Iris (Emily Blunt) was his brother's girlfriend. They are not romantic but care for each other. Iris suggests Jack go to her father's cabin on an island in Puget Sound and discover some inner peace.

When Jack arrives, he finds an attractive woman already at the cabin. After some stumbling and fumbling, they realize that the woman is Iris's sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt). Unable to sleep, Hannah and Jack tell each other their sob stories over a bottle of tequila. Hannah has just ended a 7 year lesbian relationship and had gone to the cabin to get over it. After both get blitzed, they decide to give the old boy-girl sex a try. Hmm. Well, they're drunk so I bought it.

The next morning, Iris surprises Jack and Hannah, showing up at the cabin. They decide to keep their one-time liaison a secret until Iris confides in Hannah she is in love with Jack. So now what? Well that's the rest of the movie and it wouldn't be fair to give much more away. Directed and written by Lynn Shelton, the movie is funny, tender and honest. The film is beautifully photographed (Benjamin Kasulke) showing the wonder of this part of the world. I was also taken the mostly acoustic score written by Vinny Smith. The movie is well written, well-acted and had a perfect ending.

This Blu ray transfer has a 1.78:1 aspect ratio and is in 1080p. It appears to be digitally shot on HD cameras and as noted above, I thought the locations and technology were good in the movie and show well on the disc. The audio is DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and is excellent. I did notice some unusual placement of some of the music. I use some front "effects" speakers in my home theater set up and for one of the few times they were noticeable...in a good way. I suspect this has something to do with the mix which Smith is also credited. I thought the audio was terrific.

YOUR SISTER'S SISTER is a very uneven movie that seems both very naturalistic and very self-aware at the same time. Except for the opening scene, the movie is almost entirely focused at one rustic lake house on an island off the coast of Seattle. And except for that opening scene, the movie is almost entirely peopled by just 3 characters.

In the opening scene, we see a group of friends chatting in an apartment building and handing around photos of Tom, a friend who has recently died and they are all gathered to informally eulogize. Tom's close friend, played by Mike Birbiglia (sounding just like Mike Birbiglia always sounds) begins telling of all the great characteristics Tom had. Tom is warmly toasted by all...except for his brother Jack (Mark Duplass), who has a few less than wonderful things to say about Tom. His awkward statements lead to social embarrassment, and he is mildly confronted by Iris (Emily Blunt)...who is (in a situation likely only in movies) both Jack's best friend AND Tom's ex-girlfriend. She encourages Jack, who is clearly adrift and somewhat tortured by the loss of his brother and the general malaise of his life, to take some time and spend a few days at her parent's old lake house. Just get away and think about your life. (Again, it feels very much like a movie device...in no way do you get the sense that Jack would benefit from time alone with himself, since he so clearly loathes himself.)

But he doesn't get to spend alone time, because when he arrives, he discovers the lake house is already occupied, by Iris' sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt). Hannah has ALSO come to the lake house to nurse her wounds, because her long term relationship with her girlfriend has come to an end. The two have never met, but they quickly bond over a bottle of tequila...and mild mischief and misunderstandings ensue, especially when Iris decides to take time off work and visit her buddy.

I won't tell you any more about the plot. This movie is all about the relationships between these 3 characters, and suffice it to say that more complexities are revealed. And these 3 have lots of time to lie around the house and work things out. Only in a movie would characters be able to walk away from any normal responsibilities to indulge their quest to sort out their feelings.

Writer/director Lynn Shelton has set a chain of events in motion that never for one minute feel credible. Yet at the same time, this self-aware "movie-ness" is offset by very natural, rambling dialogue. It has an improvised feel and the 3 actors, especially Duplass & DeWitt, dive into their far from perfect characters with gusto. Each has attractive qualities and each has serious weaknesses. So despite the unconvincing plot machinations...the actual conversations and interactions between these 3 characters are interesting, convincing and involving. True, these are all smart, articulate people who speak more eloquently than 99% of us...but they also occasionally struggle for words, get tripped up by their own idiocies and most movingly of all, sometimes their emotions render them speechless. When you see a character that has proven the ability to talk, talk, talk suddenly unable to articulate their feelings, that is quite effective. You root for these characters.

Duplass & DeWitt are more comfortable with the improvisational style. Blunt, who is an actress I like very much, comes off a bit more scripted and a bit less articulate...but the other characters are also more bitter, which lends itself to more witty sarcasm and self-excoriating observations.

YOUR SISTER'S SISTER is not a fast-paced movie. It is as languid as the lakeside scenery. It is likely to bore a viewer interested in lots of forward momentum. But if you're interested in some intelligent acting and a fairly engrossing interpersonal comedy/drama...you might find enough to like in Shelton's uneven but admirable work.

Your Sister's Sister is a quirky romantic comedy starring a very talented cast including: Mark Duplass, Emily Blunt, and Rosemarie Dewitt. The story is simple, Jack (Duplass) has still not fully come to terms with the death of his brother Tom, so Tom's ex-girlfriend Iris (Blunt) who's also Jack's best friend suggests Jack spend some alone time in her family's remote cabin in the woods. So once Jack arrives at the cabin, someone is already staying there, Iris's neurotic sister Hannah (Dewitt). Jack takes immediate liking to Hannah and something happens that makes for an interesting film, I won't give away more than that but I truly felt Your Sister's Sister is a funny and true-to-life film. The acting is superb, the writing is flawless, and I highly recommend this adorable indie flick, enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not what they say

On the back of the box, this film is described as "A heart warming comedy about friendship, love and life"
Now unless my funny bone was removed whilst I slept, in my opinion there is no possible way this could be remotely perceived as a 'comedy'. I can happily say that I can usually detect the humour in the darkest of dark comedies but in this case I don't think that humour was the intention of the makers of this movie.
I would instead put it down to bad marketing.
On the other hand it is a well crafted drama with some fine acting, and this is what it should be judged as.

I think I read somewhere that this film was shot over 12 days on an unbelievably small budget, and that a lot of the dialogue was ad-libbed. The ever watchable Mark Duplass has used this method before in the excellent Blue Jay, so working this way must appeal to him.
I would probably rate this more accurately as a 7/10, but as half stars aren't available I think it deserves to go up from that score rather than down, hence the 4 stars.
A romantic drama that's well worth a look, just don't expect any belly laughs cause it sure isn't a comedy.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Greek tragicomedy...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2012

Hmmm, first I was really bored and somewhat annoyed at what I was thinking was an over-acting on the part of Jack (played by Mark Duplass), and an awful sitcom (Jack arriving at the house, peeping through the window, banging his head etc. etc. and the dialog that follows) and just pure boring script. It seems that nothing was happening for a while, but somewhere in the middle of the film (and the middle of the night in the film), things started to warm up a bit.

We were to believe that Emily Blunt's character Iris was in love with Jack - but there was no chemistry between the actors and this was somewhat hard to believe. We were to believe that Iris and her sister Hannah (played by Rosemarie DeWitt) were the best of friends, but again, there was very little chemistry between them. And there was even less chemistry between Hannah (supposedly a lesbian desperate for a baby) and Jack, who ended up having mediocre sex after a night of drinking.

Nevertheless, at the end, I thought the film was not too bad. It's good idea gone sour. I enjoy watching Emily Blunt and all the actors gave good performances, but something was lacking badly... The family ties, death, love and friendship were not portraied nearly enough and despite the ambition, the film is a slight dissapointemnt.

"Your Sister's Sister" reminded me of a Shakespeare (I am sorry, I am sorry, of course this is no Shakespeare!!!), or better, a Greek tragic comedy, that nevertheless ends well. I was filling like I am watching a play with three leads. And then it ended (oh, the trilling suspense of the ending scene!)
