YOUR SISTER'S SISTER - a film by Lynn Shelton

There is a running joke between my sisters when referring to our mother with each another; did you hear what your sister's mother did now?  The brilliant and entertaining comedy/drama, YOUR SISTER'S SISTER hits every right note about what it means to have and love your siblings.  Of course, there are definite do's & dont's that come with having a sibling:  never sleep with your sister's boyfriend, big NO NO and no matter what, you need to love and forgive each other; siblings are our life's partners.  The film is about 2 sisters, the always phenomenal Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married) and Blunt's best friend played by Mark Duplass (Safety Not Guaranteed.)  Duplass' brother was Blunt's boyfriend for a time before he died.  DeWitt just ended a 7 yr. lesbian relationship and has a 1 night fling with Duplass before knowing that best friends Blunt and Duplass truly love each other.  This movie will make you laugh and make you cry and make you forgive your sib for all the crap they pull & will continue to pull.  Trust me, if Blunt, DeWitt, Duplass & Shelton all don't receive Oscar nominations, it would be unforgiveable.  The movie should also get nominated for best cinematography and entice you to take a bike trip around the scenic San Juan Islands near Shelton's home in Seattle.
