Smart film. Smart dialog. Smart characters. No stereotypes. Not a cliché-driven romantic comedy, which obviously put off some of those who reacted negatively.

From start to finish, the roles and situations develop in unpredictable ways that never seem false. There must have been a lot of improvisation go into the script, because the conversations never sound false, and the characters all act and react in ways that could not be more natural.

It is funny without being silly, and it is sad at times in ways that measure the depth of the relationships. Great stuff!

Love thy sister, even and especially if you guys are different. Same goes for brothers I reckon and you kinda get both here (more or less). But this concentrates on relationships, friendships and life in general (growing old and other things). The script is good, with maybe the exception of some "quiet time", that could've been shorter, because we do get the point. But it's very well acted throughout and the point is still made.

The script/dialog is good and the situations the characters find themselves in feel genuine. You might think that some things come off as strange, but you may not have the whole picture yet ... though some things are very obvious, it does not hurt (the flow of) the movie! Not out with big effects or anything, this is a slow burner

Jack (Mark Duplass) is a drunken mess after the death of his brother. Her friend Iris (Emily Blunt) sends him to her father's cottage to be by himself. It turns out that Iris's sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt) is also staying there after her recent lesbian break-up. They have some brief drunken sex. The next morning, Iris arrives. Jack wants to keep the sex a secret. Iris confesses to Hannah that she's in love with Jack and Hannah decides to keep the sex a secret also. Iris reveals that Hannah wants a baby and Jack starts thinking about the night of sex.

It's an interesting 3 person play. Sometimes it's funny. The acting is well done although Mark Duplass should stop doing the slovenly slob character. He even talks about his swoopy haircut. DeWitt and Blunt are the best and I would love them in their own movie. There is a naturalness to their sisterhood.
