Nothing extraordinary, but solid
21 May 2017
An interesting story, somewhat different from the usual scripts. I mainly watched this movie due to the presence of Adams and Blunt together, two IMO very convincing actresses. The movie moves between mediocrity, hopes and melancholy in life. Well suited for both of them, here sisters, as Blunt makes an excellent presence in grim roles, as well as Adams is great and very credible playing characters who alternate between high hopes, confidence, and desperation. Another representative of roles of "difficult cases", Rajskub, adds a bit more to the movie. On the entertaining background of the semi-successful dad of the two sisters.

Nothing extraordinary, but a nice mix of comedy and drama elements, while none of both prevail, making it nor too lightweight, nor too dark. And with a fulminant final sentence, "you'll get used to it".

The mood of the movie has some similarities with and remainded me of another excellent movie, "You can count on me" (2000).
