Your Sister's Sister
Released: 29/06/2012
General release
After her low-budget Humpday in which a macho standoff concludes in a dare to make a gay porn film, director Lynn Shelton returns with a touching look at sibling secrets and rivalry. Shot in twelve days, Emily Blunt, Rosemary DeWitt and mumblecore favourite Mark Duplass make up a relationship triangle, in what was heralded a gem of this year's Tribeca Film Festival.

Empire“Sweet, if not earth-shattering...” This may be slight and familiar, but it also delivers a sweet-natured, poignant look at the differences between the sexes...

Total Film “Natural, affecting and funny...” It’s probably the best three-star movie this month. An effortless, emotional, funny little indie that few people will see. Be one of them...

Time Out“Some of the truest, dinged-heart couples’ circling of the year...” The characters are believable, free of pop-psychologizing impulses—Duplass, an everyguy goofball, is especially valuable in this regard—and intimidated by the falseness of past relationships...
