YOUR SISTER'S SISTER [2012]

I went into Lynn Shelton's Your Sister's Sister because I'm fond of Mark Duplass and Emily Blunt only to discover it's Rosemarie Dewitt who steals the whole show.
Relying heavily on improvised dialogue, the film explores all sorts of themes in a quiet, thoughtful manner that remains interesting from beginning to end.  The believability of the writing and strong performances is funny, heartbreaking and genuinely enjoyable.  It does resort to a few overused cliches but never enough to become frustrating.
