Your Sister's SisterIts key lies within the process of bonding that occurs so smoothly that one almost forgets that all of it is an act. Lynn Shelton has done a brilliant job on writing this screenplay and bring it alive on screen, which is not easy to execute especially such an eerie situation that is created among characters where he literally plays with them like a puppet. The performance objective is what itches in the throat in here for no matter how much Emily Blunt must invest on it, she is just a supporting actor the rest of it actually lies upon Mark Duplass and Rosemarie DeWitt; the lead characters, who could have done better. Your Sister's Sister may have a similar tone to "dysfunctional family" genre but it certainly is more than that especially in its high pitched dramatic sequences in its last act where all the sub-plots merges in.

On one hand this movie has quite a few aspects, which you might say are somewhat predictable.On the other hand, for me, it has sort of an "x-factor", which somehow captivated me from the very first second of the movie. The chemistry between the characters (or the actors) was perfect, or at least seemed that way. The beautiful locale adds to the great emotion. Watched it on a grayish Sunday morning and got a positive emotional load for the entire day.Simple movie really... but, then again, often the simplest things are the greatest

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

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.
