Grade: C+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your Sister’s Sister is a small, 2011 independent film, with a central cast of only three characters- the two sisters mentioned in the title and a young man (Mark Duplass), who is a rival for their affections.<\/p>\n

The story tells of a love triangle, of sorts, between two sisters and one man. I admire the improvisational method that is used in the dialogue, ala Robert Altman style, where the characters merely have conversations and discuss issues rather than a structured dialogue.<\/p>\n

This works well in the film.<\/p>\n

The standout is Rosemarie DeWitt (“Mad Men”). I also enjoy the remote, cabin setting, which makes for a claustrophobic experience.<\/p>\n

Emily Blunt’s performance, though, seems bland to me and I did not find her character rather relatable.<\/p>\n

The ending of the film leaves everything up in the air and no clear conclusions are drawn, something I could see coming from miles away.<\/p>\n

I admired the style of Your Sister’s Sister (2011) but was unsatisfied with the outcome.<\/p>\n
