Jack (Mark Duplass) is a drunken mess after the death of his brother. Her friend Iris (Emily Blunt) sends him to her father's cottage to be by himself. It turns out that Iris's sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt) is also staying there after her recent lesbian break-up. They have some brief drunken sex. The next morning, Iris arrives. Jack wants to keep the sex a secret. Iris confesses to Hannah that she's in love with Jack and Hannah decides to keep the sex a secret also. Iris reveals that Hannah wants a baby and Jack starts thinking about the night of sex.
It's an interesting 3 person play. Sometimes it's funny. The acting is well done although Mark Duplass should stop doing the slovenly slob character. He even talks about his swoopy haircut. DeWitt and Blunt are the best and I would love them in their own movie. There is a naturalness to their sisterhood.

some fun good acting
Siblings
Love thy sister, even and especially if you guys are different. Same goes for brothers I reckon and you kinda get both here (more or less). But this concentrates on relationships, friendships and life in general (growing old and other things). The script is good, with maybe the exception of some "quiet time", that could've been shorter, because we do get the point. But it's very well acted throughout and the point is still made.
The script/dialog is good and the situations the characters find themselves in feel genuine. You might think that some things come off as strange, but you may not have the whole picture yet ... though some things are very obvious, it does not hurt (the flow of) the movie! Not out with big effects or anything, this is a slow burner
I'm really a bad person
This is an indie chick flick. It is about "the relationship." After a whole year, Jack (Mark Duplass) can't get over his brother's death, an indication this has written by a woman who believes men think like women. At the recommendation of his brother's ex-girlfriend Iris (Emily Blunt) he utilizes a remote cabin on an island in Washington state. As he arrives late at night Iris' sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt) is also there. She just broke up with her girlfriend and they hit it off well, in fact a little too well.
Iris, for some unexplained reason, arrives and confesses to her sister her love for Jack, one that is mutual but never spoken. We wait for the moment.
The movie starts out with a bunch of pretentious dialogue, including the old, "remember when he stole a wheelchair" flashback. The dialogue was written badly. The acting was good, and I admit Lynn Shelton did a better job at directing this formula than writing it. Can we stop with a guy riding a bicycle with beautiful scenery to an acoustical accompaniment? It is time to move on.
Parental Guidance: F-bomb. Brief sex scene. No nudity.
