Movies that start well and end badly occur often enough, and yet even knowing that is no preparation for what happens to Your Sister's Sister.
- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, January 08, 2013
It's in the completely natural interactions between this gifted cast that the film really hits its groove.
- Cara Nash, FILMINK (Australia), October 24, 2012
A trident of terrifically earthy performances grounds this sharp, twist-laden romantic comedy.
- Jim Schembri, 3AW, September 07, 2012
Deceptively meandering and unexpectedly complex, Your Sister's Sister combines a poignant, funny directness with a teasing incompleteness.
- Philippa Hawker, The Age (Australia), September 06, 2012
Right from the get-go, this indie American talkfest exudes a confidence, a composure and, dare I say it, a cool that extinguishes any cynicism in the room.
- Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia), September 06, 2012
Everything that takes place on screen feels convincing as Shelton is more concerned with representing her characters truthfully rather than pushing an agenda.
- Thomas Caldwell, Cinema Autopsy, September 05, 2012
The rom-com twists don't always work, but it's easy to fall for stars who clearly love acting together - particularly Blunt, who could make a paper bag dazzle.
- Ed Gibbs, The Sunday Age, September 02, 2012
The pleasures of this rom-com love triangle come from the performances, which beautifully describe the awkwardness, anxiety, sincerity and humour of the situation
- Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile, September 01, 2012
Your Sister's Sister is a very sweet, very human feature that is also very, very funny. Much hay is made out of Mark Duplass' reaction shots, and that's just fine by me.
- Simon Miraudo, Quickflix, July 08, 2012
It certainly shows that fine films don't need big budgets, capturing some sweet lightning in an arresting bottle indeed.
- Tom Long, Detroit News, June 29, 2012
Romantic, funny, surprising and thoroughly involving, Your Sister's Sister is the rare film you give yourself over to completely.
- Claudia Puig, USA Today, June 28, 2012
There's a nice, loose-limbed improvisatory feeling to "Your Sister's Sister," a quality that identifies it as the work of artisans, not assembly-line professionals.
- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune, June 28, 2012
Much makes the viewer feel they're a fly on the wall, albeit a fly who has difficulty holding the camera steady or staying in focus.
- Phelim O'Neill, Guardian [UK], June 28, 2012
The three leads gel intelligently in a scenario that might have been better suited to the stage.
- Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph, June 28, 2012
This film should come with a warning: don't watch with a sibling. Unless you're up for some knowing elbow-digs.
- Cath Clarke, Time Out, June 26, 2012
Who are these people, and why are we watching them?
- Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald, June 22, 2012
"Your Sister's Sister" follows the indie-cinema blueprint to the letter with one exception: One of the film's characters is a lesbian.
- Rafer Guzman, Newsday, June 22, 2012
By the end of this graceful little emotional farce, you know these people, their hopes and their panic, and you wish them the very best.
- Ty Burr, Boston Globe, June 21, 2012
The verbal agonisings are funny, skilful, revealing.
- Nigel Andrews, Financial Times, June 28, 2012
Likeable enough, but this is Shelton playing it safe.
- Adam Woodward, Little White Lies, June 28, 2012
