Critics' reviews
- "The acting here is so skilled, and the emotional terrain so rocky, that Shelton manages to break past the genre's narrow social parameters to a moving story of grief, betrayal, and devotion."
- "This film's only real stumble is its ending, which is so predictable it seems like a bit of a copout."
- "This extremely well-acted dramatic farce of grief and betrayal actually has a resonance beyond its target demographic."
- "Duplass' feisty energy is matched by DeWitt's constant smarminess, while Blunt's shy, fragile behavior balances off the forceful personalities surrounding her."
- "Each an actor of distinctive delicacy, Duplass, DeWitt, and Blunt do some of their subtlest, most sweetly calibrated work ever"
- "So many movies try to capture human relationships and fail miserably. A few come close. Your Sister's Sister nails it with grace, humor and winning charm."
