    Editorial Reviews

    Lingering tensions clash with new hopes in director Jonathan Demme's ensemble drama set during an idyllic wedding that threatens to descend into chaos with the appearance of the bride's estranged sister -- a volatile and unpredictable girl whose turbulent history of personal crisis and family conflict quickly threatens to take precedence over the happy ceremony. Rachel Buchman (Rosemarie DeWitt) is about to be married to the love of her life, but while the weather outside may be perfect, there's a storm blowing in. That storm goes by the name Kym (Anne Hathaway). Kym is the family black sheep, and wherever she goes disaster is sure to follow. Now, as friends and family gather together for a memorable day of dining, dancing, and celebration, everyone braces themselves knowing that, at any given moment, old skeletons may be dragged out and dusted off for display by the bombshell who seems to have an acerbic one-liner for every situation, and a flare for drama that could set their family home ablaze. Bill Irwin and Debra Winger co-star. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

    Not your average hollywood blockbusterby wayfarer_05

    August 04, 2009: One of the best written films I've seen in a while. It has a rare form of emotional intellect and realism that isn't easy to find. I think its pretty typical that the popular and well liked movies have heavy, convoluted plots and not much emphasis on character. This movie offers the exact opposite formula and I think that accounts for a lot of the negative reviews. The directing and overall cinematography does take a while to get used to but if you take the effort to connect with the characters and the story, I don't think its hard to understand or appreciate why the movie was shot in that fashion. Rachel Getting Married is meant to be personal. And the style of the writing and the directing relays that very well. This is a very cohesive project that does require a little give and take from the viewer. But ultimately its a very moving character piece well worth a watch.

    July 17, 2009: This movie was incredible. I have studied film, and I can tell you what technically makes a good film, and what makes a bad one. The people giving this movie bad reviews are obviously of the group that have no intellect concerning movies beyond what entertains them and grabs their spastic attention. I have heard people say there are awkward scenes and long gaps of silence, and even pointless camera angles. This is a load of hogwash. The director chose to shoot every angle for a specific reason. The entire film was shot with a handheld camera, which distinguishes it from other films in the same category. The plot was emotional (for those of us with similar experiences). The "boring" parts were actually there for emphasis and drawing-in, but people obviously cannot wrap their brains around that. Just because there isn't a giant robot sending a missile hurtling toward the planet does not mean this movie is boring. I hope more people will give this film a chance, because at this rate it will end up as the diamond in the ruff of misunderstood masterpieces. After seeing this movie once I know it is one of my favorites. (And I have seen A LOT of movies.) Anne Hathaway said herself that by the end of reading the script she was on the floor crying. This is the film I wish I had written.
