IFC Films has acquired the North American and Latin American distribution rights to indie-comedy Your Sister’s Sister.
Directed by Lynn Shelton (Humpday), Your Sister’s Sister stars Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada), Rosemarie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married), Mark Duplass (Cyrus) and Mike Birbiglia (Cedar Rapids).
A year after his brother’s death, Jack (Duplass) still see-saws between emotionally wobbly and outright volatile. When he makes a scene at a memorial party, Iris (Blunt) intervenes with a plan: Jack must oil up his old bike and trek to her father’s cabin on an island on Puget Sound, where isolation will give his brain a chance to detangle. When Jack gets to the woods, however, he finds not solitude but Iris’ sister Hannah (DeWitt), herself nursing a wounded heart and a bottle of tequila. After several shots and some slurred commiseration, liquor isn’t the only fluid these two end up sharing. Their hangover descends in the form of Iris, who pulls up with a bag of groceries the next morning.
Your Sister’s Sister premiered at the 36th Toronto Film Festival to extremely positive reviews.
