Product Description:
WHEN KYM RETURNS HOME FOR THE WEDDING OF HER SISTER RACHEL, LONG SIMMERING FAMILY TENSIONS & PERSONAL CRISES INTERRUPT THE JOYFUL WEEKEND OF FRIENDS & FESTIVITIES.
Amazon.com:
Pitched between Robert Altman's A Wedding and Noah Baumbach's Margot at the Wedding--but more cautiously optimistic than both--Rachel Getting Married marks a change in course for director Jonathan Demme. Granted, few Oscar winners have walked a more diverse path. After a series of documentaries and remakes, the Silence of the Lambs helmer tries his hand at the intimate chamber drama. With the help of actress Anne Hathaway and screenwriter Jenny Lumet, daughter of filmmaker Sidney, he pulls it off. The festivities kick into high gear once Kym (Hathaway, with smeared eyeliner and unkempt hair) takes a break from rehab for her sister's big day. It soon transpires that Kym, who hides her wounded soul behind a veil of sarcasm, serves as the Buchman's resident black sheep. The problem goes deeper than drugs to a tragedy in which she played a part. As Kym, bride Rachel (Mad Men's Rosemary DeWitt), their parents (Bill Irwin and Debra Winger), groom Sidney (TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe), and the rest of the bohemian Connecticut brood struggle with the past, the nuptials continue, graced by performances from past Demme collaborators like Sister Carol East (Something Wild) and Robyn Hitchcock (Storefront Hitchcock). The hours between reception and after-party contain humor, affection, and painful revelations. In the press notes, Demme claims that he and cinematographer Declan Quinn (In America) attempted to make a film that looked like "The most beautiful home movie ever made." Using handheld cameras and believably flawed characters, they've done just that. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This was one of the worst movies I think I have ever watched. Not only was it so slow and boring,there just wasn't any substance to it. Save your money!!

It's a sad fact but there are actually families like this in America; self- absorbed, over-indulgent and narcissistic, and the director Jonathan Demme captures this spoiled malaise perfectly in "Rachel Getting Married". All throughout the movie, I wanted to know what these people did for a living, but alas that wasn't really important, and anybody that critiques this film knows that to ask that question is a unpardonable sin in this world of deluded upper class entitlements.

I want to start by saying that Rachel Getting Married isn't a movie for the faint of heart. There is conflict and lots of it with very little in the way of resolution. Honestly, I don't quite see how anybody could *enjoy* this movie if they didn't get anything cathartic out of it; but I have a number of friends who couldn't directly relate and still appreciated what they saw. That's the first thing you need to know about Rachel Getting Married: despite its seemingly innocuous title, it is not a movie ... Read More

I'm afraid I can't give an in depth review for this movie because I couldn't stay interested long enough to keep watching it - still, that in itself is a very clear review in a way. I tried to get through the whole thing, I wanted to like the movie, I'm open minded to various kinds of movie experiences, but honestly this movie bored me to death. Apologies to those who liked it.

Despite the title of the film, this movie revolves around Kym (Anne Hathaway), who's recently out of rehab on the eve of her sister's (Rosemary DeWitt) wedding. It's a rather serious drama dealing with Kym's difficult transition back into the real world, and specifically, into family life. It marks something of a departure for Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) with its intimate portrayal of a family's pains, joys, and turmoils. As the film develops we learn about some of the reasons for the dynamics ... Read More
