Your Sister?s Sister

Mark Duplass (who stars in three movies coming out this summer; his own fifth feature, The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, co-directed with his brother Jay, opens in July) makes for a refreshing romantic hero. Both here and in Safety Not Guaranteed, he plays men who genuinely seem to enjoy the company of women, and who, for all their introspection and neuroses, are unplagued by the familiar man-cave anxieties of too many onscreen bros. As the eager-to-please Iris, Emily Blunt is as luminous and charming as ever, though her character never emerges into sharp relief the way the other two principals do. We never hear much, if anything, about Iris? own grief for her dead boyfriend Tom, and given what we learn about Hannah in the last third of the movie, Iris starts to seem less like a devoted younger sibling than a self-deluding doormat.
