Overrated

hyped garbage

best movie i've ever seen.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

There is always the question of whether a naturalistic indie film is essentially a documentary or reality show, or an actual movie meant to entertain. I give credit to the performers for improvising their lines and looking disheveled, as we do in real life, when staying at a cabin and not expecting company.But do we tune in to a movie to escape realism or embrace it? I guess I like it, as long as there is a sufficient amount of drama and/or there is exceptionally interesting dialog. But of course there is a problem with that too. Because most of us don't speak in interesting dialog, so a natural Indie almost needs to portray humans as ordinary and flawed.Well, let's put it this way. I like a natural film portraying interesting people. But the people in this one were not interesting. They all seem unemployed, self-absorbed, and immature for their ages.They also seem quite Godless. Sex requires very little thought beforehand, but plenty afterwards. I guess that's better than little thought at both times.I do like the idea that they go to a place with no T.V. or internet, and must entertain themselves with books, cooking, and conversation. Also, the scenery was attractive, during the few scenes shot outdoors.Why the hell is one sister British and the other is not? They tried to explain that by saying that the dad went through some period of drifting in England. Are they half sisters?Emily Blunt doesn't wear much makeup here. But there is something appealing about her at the grass roots level.I liked the guy. He was quirky without appearing self-conscious. Consequently, he was genuinely funny.It's a simple dialog-based film. I like writer-driven projects. So I will recommend this one to those with patience. But be aware that nothing interesting or profound is spoken.

The director did an absolutely great job in my honest opinion. I don't know what they're called but I just like these types of festival films. I loved the acting, it was quite nice and sincere. However, the plot for me was a little too messed up honestly. One twist too much I think. Maybe real life is this messed up, I don't know but I personally feel like it was not a nice family film in that sense. What I really liked however was that it death with real emotion. Whether people are that open, honest or vulnerable in real life is another discussion. Overall, worth the hour and a half, good acting, good scenery, interesting premise/plot. Wouldn't say it's a must-watch but I didn't not like it. Maybe I was expecting a tad more because the trailer seemed so great, but there was just this one character, the sister, that I didn't like. I mean maybe the writer -same woman who directed it- was trying to achieve that but it seemed to me that they were trying to give the impression that all three stars were kinda messed up where I found only the sister to genuinely not be a good person whereas the others were just struggling with life like any person would. The sister and what she did seemed to evil to just simply forgive after a good night's sleep in my opinion. But definitely enjoyed watching it. Good job acting and directing. Not your usual movie. Interesting experience.

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!

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.
