Your Sister's Sister (2011)

Lynn Shelton's Your Sister's Sister is a revelation. It tells so much, yet refrains from saying just as much. The result is a taut and satisfying drama.

Mark Duplass is Jack - an unemployed, Pacific Northwestern, wearing plaid shirts and drinking craft ale. It's been a year since his brother died, with whom he seems to have had an up-and-down relationship, but he hasn't really got over it. Despite their incompatibility, they loved each other. These conflicting feelings implode during the commemorative meal his brother's friends have arranged on the first anniversary of his death. Seeing how her best friend is going through a destructive funk, Iris (Emily Blunt) suggests he spend some time in her dad's pad on an island in the Sound.
