Your Sister's Sister (2012)

Just what I expected

An Exercise In Nonsense

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This review contains spoilers:I have been IMDb's member for 20+ years, never felt that I need to write a review but this movie is such a piece of trash and so wrong that I felt compelled to do so. The movie started really well but went downhill with he discovery of the poked holes in the condom. Let's put aside the odds of a getting pregnant with one time sex and how the lesbian found a condom in a moment's notice ( assuming it was in the medicine cabinet of the cottage , perhaps belonging to her dad who used to sleep around, really old condom?) My main issue with movie is that it is downplaying the sexual assault and movie ended up having a happy ending ???? I know it was consensual sex but with the use of condom to prevent STDs and unintended pregnancies. I agree that one must take some risks having sex with condom but intentionally poking holes should be considered criminal. If the roles were reversed, the guy poke holes in the condom or stealthing and as a result the female gets pregnant, would it still be considered OK? Reading some of the reviews, bragging about such a love story this is, I am deeply saddened how morally bankrupt our society has become!

Sometimes there just isn't an aspirin big enough . . .If you're a love sick, lonely freshman, than by all means rent this with your dorm buddies and talk amongst yourselves in endless clichés about love and limits on love and on and on and on . . .For the rest of us, avoid at all costs.When I read that the actors ad-libbed most of the dialogue, that was all I needed to read in explanations about the dribble. I'm sure it was all meant to be profound, but it just came across as amazingly sophomoric. *** Potential Spoiler ***And what is it about films where some fat slob guy, with virtually no redeeming qualities still has a sharp hotties still want him? I live in the real world and I don't see that very often.

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.

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.
