Your Sister's Sister

Why this pick

Its loose, naturalistic performances and gently awkward humour turn shifting attraction among friends into an intimate, unresolved-feeling relationship study.

Movie / 2015 / Drama / Comedy

Digging for Fire

Why this pick

Joe Swanberg brings the same conversational spontaneity and romantic restlessness to couples testing the limits of commitment over one eventful weekend.

Happy Christmas poster 03

Movie / 2014 / Comedy / Drama

Happy Christmas

Why this pick

Another Swanberg ensemble, with improvised-feeling dialogue, Chicago texture, and small emotional frictions between people who cannot quite articulate what they need.

Like Crazy poster 04

Movie / 2011 / Drama

Like Crazy

Why this pick

It shares the close-up, naturalistic focus on chemistry and incompatibility, letting a relationship’s uncertainty emerge through lived-in moments rather than grand plot turns.

Touchy Feely poster 05

Movie / 2013 / Drama

Touchy Feely

Why this pick

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Kate (Olivia Wilde) and Luke (Jake Johnson) are co-workers at Chicago craft brewery Revolution Brewing, where they spend their days drinking and goofing off. They seem to be perfect for each other, but they are both in relationships. Kate is with Chris (Ron Livingston), and Luke is with Jill (Anna Kendrick). Jill is a nice and practical girl, whereas Chris is more of an introvert. Jill presses Luke about marriage, which he promises he will be able to talk about some time soon.
