Last night I saw Your Sister's Sister at Cinemapolis. Besides its sometimes shaky sound, Cinemapolis has to be in my top three favorite theaters. It is an adorable mom-and-pop styled theater that serves Haagen-Dazs ice cream cartons. The advertisements before movies are for Ithaca companies and clips of old films. Last nights clip was Charlie Chaplin making the potatoes dance. I giggled like a child.
Besides the ice cream and classic film clips, the people of Ithaca are the most opening and genuine people I have ever met. This is especially so on a Sunday night. I went to the movie alone last night and had the theater to myself until a couple came in probably in their seventies. They were holding hands like it was their first date, which made me feel like I was intruding in on their night. However, the man looked up at me and said, "So nice of you to invite us out to a movie. May we join you!" He said it so sincerely, I almost thought I had invited them. Before I could even answer another couple in their seventies came in (holding hands too!), which prompted my weird response of "Of course, now that all my friends are here." Everyone smiled, exchanged laughs, and both men made tiny jokes about sitting right in front of me. I could tell it was one of those jokes they said just to hear their wife laugh.
I digress.
Your Sister's Sister is a beautiful film in all aspects. First of all, the scenery of the film is just breathtaking and real and comforting. It made me want to jump through the screen. The characters are well created with deep rooted problems yet they are woven so well together they don't feel as serious as they should. Which is a good thing to me. The performances seem so effortless and fed off one another. I definitely recommend it.
Also, Rosemarie Dewitt seems like the coolest.
