A little too quiet and slow in places, Your Sister's Sister is warm and touching with three great lead performances.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 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.

| Jul 31, 2019

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 25, 2019

We might not know exactly what either of these women sees in the unemployed, underripe Jack. But they're winning enough for the audience to hope they get what they want.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 3, 2019

Duplass, Blunt and DeWitt fit Shelton's world with an ease that allows the film to become much more than its initial set up would lead one to believe.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2018

Though the dialogue is mostly improvised, it feels rooted in the relationships as well as pleasingly spontaneous.

| Jul 31, 2018

Huge, primal emotions - grief, unrequited love, the longing for family - are expressed here as the everyday, and it's in this that Your Sister's Sister finds its quiet power.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 21, 2018

"Humpday" showed that [director Lynn] Shelton has talent, particularly as a director of actors, but "Your Sister's Sister" is a disappointing follow-up.

Watching mortals sort through relationships is not just an intelligent way to spend an afternoon -- it's downright refreshing. The characters are so honest, so thoughtful, and so utterly real that you feel genuine interest in their plight.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Dec 3, 2017

The story unfolds subtly and without apparent effort, but it's the humour that provides the warmth and, combined with fabulous and endearing performances, makes this a joy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 11, 2017

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.

| Nov 8, 2013

Even when the story line tries to wrench the characters in a certain direction, they keep returning to something real and honest. I want these people to be my friends.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 2, 2013

Don't be surprised if you find yourself nodding off mid-movie, bored silly by a trio of good actors stuck in a dull scenario about a young man caught in a highly implausible kerfuffle involving two sisters and a leaky condom.

| Original Score: C | Jun 2, 2013

It's not rollicking summertime fare, and it won't offer easy answers. But it's an entertaining failure -- just like its characters.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jan 8, 2013

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 8, 2013

There is some witty banter and some interesting developments. The acting is solid by the three leads.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 1, 2013

I think I need a break from Mark Duplass for awhile. At least, from the Mark Duplass who isn't arguing about fantasy football with Ruxin and Taco.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 14, 2012

What could have been trite male wish-fulfillment is instead beholden to genuinely messy revelations: life as a tattered, living quilt we sew and wear as one.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 5, 2012

It's in the completely natural interactions between this gifted cast that the film really hits its groove.

| Oct 24, 2012

For a film that relies on conversation and connection, it's awfully plot-heavy, full of "Aha!" dramatic revelations that feel more suited to a soap opera than an indie dramedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 28, 2012
