CORK CINE CLUB PRESENTS ‘YOUR SISTER’S SISTER’
ON THURSDAY 7 FEBRUARY
Screening in St. John’s Central College at 8pm
Cork Cine Club presents theĀ  Your Sister’s Sister (USA), which The New York Times calls “a winner…poignant, witty, brilliantly written and acted” on Thursday 7 February at 8pm in St. John’s Central College. Ā Ā 
Still grief-stricken a year after his brother’s death, Jack (Mark Duplass) travels to a remote cabin off the coast of Seattle at the suggestion of his best friend, Iris (Emily Blunt), who thinks that heā€™ll benefit from the isolation. He arrives to find Irisā€™s sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), recovering from a bad breakup, and they quickly bond over their shared misery.Ā 
When Iris turns up to surprise Jack, she notes a new connection between him and her sister. What begins as a happy reunion soon deteriorates into a fractious encounter, the trio bouncing off one another amid misunderstandings, betrayals and secret affections.Ā 
Improvising much of the dialogue, the three actors are terrific, imbuing their complex, sometimes maddening characters with genuine heart. Shelton and her cast develop an idea initially conceived by Duplass into a funny, truthful story about sibling bonds, friendship, love and miscommunication.
Director: Lynn Shelton. Ā USA, 2011.Ā  90 minutes.Ā  Cert: 15A.Ā  Language: English
