Mark Duplass is having quite the summer. He was sweet and sad and genuinely appealing in Safety Not Guaranteed, and he's managed to do it all again as Jack, one-third of the unintended love triangle that forms in a cabin on a dark, wet, beautiful island off the northwest coast. I'm not sure if he's acting or if he's just being himself, but it's working.
The sisters (same dad, different moms) also work. Any girl with a sister will instantly recognize the admiration the younger (Emily Blunt as Iris) has for the elder (Rosemarie DeWitt as Hannah), the teasing and torment the elder unleashes on the younger, and the habits formed in childhood (telling secrets to each other in the dark when you're supposed to be sleeping) that never seem to break.
It's a good one - see it on a rainy day, if you can. And take your sister.
Bonus Bones: 0
No dogs on the island.
