Kate Stables Sight & Sound Jul 31, 2018
Though the dialogue is mostly improvised, it feels rooted in the relationships as well as pleasingly spontaneous. Go to Full Review
Chase Whale Film.com Nov 8, 2013
It's comforting to watching dramatic and comic fiction regarding the things some of us actually have to deal with in life. When done right, those kinds of films are worth your time. YOUR SISTER'S SISTER happens to be one of them. Go to Full Review

Movies that start well and end badly occur often enough, and yet even knowing that is no preparation for what happens to Your Sister's Sister. Go to Full Review

3/5
A little too quiet and slow in places, Your Sister's Sister is warm and touching with three great lead performances. Go to Full Review
Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine Jul 31, 2019
It's a movie that's all relationships all the time. The story is scripted but the dialogue is improvised, as a chamber piece performed by just three actors-a tiny-perfect triangle of emotional intrigue. Go to Full Review

With its trio of pitch-perfect performances, this is probably the best threesome you'll see all year. Go to Full Review

Rey S Apr 22, 2019 This is a goody. Well done.
Hagrid P Dec 27, 2018 I really liked this emotionally packed, realistic little, uneventful movie with a cute 3 people cast. I did feel every part of it and made perfect sense. Emily Blunt is a true gem. See more
Hermione R Nov 27, 2018 This was brilliant... Mark Duplass is criminally underrated as an actor... & he, Dewitt & Emily Blunt's characters were all so damaged & endearing, it simply drew you in. See more
Anakin S Jun 4, 2018 Strengths: It feels like all movies involving Mark Duplass (Jack) are filled with quality dialogue. That was the case here again, as the entire movie has sharp conversation that switches from witty and comical, to deep and emotional at the drop of a hat. That's made even more impressive when you consider that most of the dialogue was improvised. Emily Blunt (Iris) and Rosemarie DeWitt (Hannah) were both great as the females in the film. They both shared strong chemistry with Duplass that shined throughout. The big scene where everything comes out, from Jack and Hannah sleeping together to Hannah poking holes in the condom to Iris' feelings towards Jack, is fantastic. Weaknesses: Usually, these indie films are rife with charm, but there's not a lot to this one. Though it's considered a romantic comedy, there's not a lot of romance in it. Other than a few conversations, the Iris/Jack love story isn't fully developed. We just get the sense that they are simply friends until Iris flat out admits it to her sister. I wasn't a big fan of the ending. It wraps things up a bit too nicely considering everything that happened. Plus, the cliffhanger vibe didn't quite work for me. Overall: A good movie with some strong dialogue and acting from the three leads. It can be a bit dull at points and the ending leaves something to be desired, but it's an easy watch that you probably won't regret. See more
Harry R Apr 23, 2018 whoever has the sun.. Your Sister's Sister Its 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.

Leia M Feb 22, 2018 My cousin was conceived after a bottle of hard liquor 30 yeard ago. He has a list of disabilities due to his parents' intoxication back in the day. Making babies with boose is a shortcut to a lifelong suffering, including multiple lives. I hope that NOBODY uses the plot from this movie as a recipe for their lives, yet this movie does not have even a slight whiff of "Do NOT try this at home". Should we have more movies like this, teaching our young "ho to"? Please keep drinking and making babies apart! See more
