2012 Movie
Dir. Lynn Shelton · United States of America · English
The acting… oh the acting! Your Sister’s Sister is a fantastic comedy which makes great use of the amazing talents and suitability of its cast, including the criminally underused Emily Blunt. Far smarter, quicker and grown-up than most other Rom-Coms, it’s a film built on secrets, lies and, yes, love, sex and family.
Iris invites her friend Jack to stay at her family's island getaway after the death of his brother. At their remote cabin, Jack's drunken encounter with Hannah, Iris' sister, kicks off a revealing stretch of days.
"All three performers add both tone and, when required, a fierce volume to their interplay."
— Anthony Lane
"Likeable enough, but this is Shelton playing it safe."
— Adam Woodward

Quirky cute and creepy. Standard for a Duplass movie. Loved it!
