Sienna Miller and Emily Beecham also star in the comic-drama premiering at the Toronto Film Festival.
In introductory scenes, we find that Johansson plays Katherine, a tightly-wound captain in the British Royal Navy . She is ignoring texts from her partner, Jack, who urgently needs to talk. Beecham is nervous, insecure Georgina, a nurse who suspects her husband is cheating. And Miller is the confident middle sister, Victoria, a famous actress now living in America, trailing a long string of old lovers.
Actors who turn to directing are primed to be great with other actors, and Scott Thomas certainly is. Johannson, Miller and Beecham convince us that they are sisters, different though the characters are. All three play their roles with naturalness and a strong sense of affection that is unspoken but clearly exists in the family.
The distinctiveness of the family, though, is undermined by predictable scenes, including a wedding dinner outdoors and Diana’s grandsons getting into mischief. Scott Thomas’ assured direction, the vibrant cinematography by Yves Belanger and the graceful editing by Joan Sobel make the film easy to sink into, although rarely surprising.
