A WINNER...This poignant, witty, brilliantly written and acted film is even better than Ms. Shelton’s last, HUMPDAY.
— Jesse Hawthorne Ficks, SF Bay Guardian
PITCH-PERFECT. With this contemplative, honest, and hilarious film, Shelton proves herself to be quite a splendid voice for our current generation of progressive pitfallers. Once again, Duplass brings a sensitivity to his modern-male roles that generations to come will still be deconstructing. Emily Blunt is mesmerizing.
— Stephen Holden, The New York Times
A WINNING PROPOSITION! A TENDER, DEEPLY SATISFYING ROMANTIC COMEDY. YOU CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. BLUNT AND DEWITT ARE DYNAMITE. DUPLASS IS REMARKABLE.
— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Terrific… instantly won us over with its honest dialogue and easy humor. Blunt, Dewitt and Duplass endear you to their characters with absurdly likeable performances. It's nothing short of delightful.

Emily Blunt, Rosemarie Dewitt and Mark Duplass star in YOUR SISTER’S SISTER, a comedy about romance, grief, and sibling rivalry. A year after his brother Tom’s death, Jack (Duplass) is still struggling emotionally. When he makes a scene at a memorial party, Tom’s best friend Iris (Blunt) offers up her family cabin on an island in the Pacific Northwest so Jack can seek catharsis in solitude. Once there, however, he runs into Iris’ sister Hannah (Dewitt) who is reeling from the abrupt end of a seven-year relationship and finds solace in Tom’s unexpected presence. A blurry evening of drinking concludes with an awkward sexual incident, made worse by Iris’ sudden presence at the cabin the next morning. A twisted tale of ever-complicated relationships is set in motion with raw, hilarious, and emotional performances from the all-star cast.
