Your Sister's Sister

Your Sister’s Sister It is the summer season and my expectations are lower. The best films begin the new season in September. On a hot lazy summer day this film will be a satisfying experience. If you like being left wondering what happened you will be delighted. There was an audible gasp as the film ended at a crucial moment. I love that because my imagination can complete the picture and I can make anything happen that I desire. The film opens with a group of friends lamenting the fact that a year has passed since their good friend Allan died. Jack is still grieving his brother’s death. Iris is a good friend of Jack and a former lover of Allan. Iris suggests that Jack ride his bicycle to her country cabin in the woods. She thinks he may find some peace and with some soul searching feel better. Jack is a sweet man. He is out of work and not exactly successful. He arrives late at night at the cabin and discovers Hanna, Iris’s sister is staying there. The film is a lot of interpersonal dialog. Hanna gets to know Jack and likes him. She tells him of her past relationship which has just dissolved. Iris arrives on the scene. The dialog between the two sisters is believable and touching. They say two is company and three a crowd. Iris and Jack have their own personal dynamics. It is a bit like a three ring circus. There are confessions. There is drama. There is laughter. I can’t tell you the ending because you are left on a cliff. Better that way.
