Rachel Getting Married

It has an undeniable and authentic vitality, an exuberance of spirit, that feels welcome and rare.
-A.O Scott, New York Times
It's Hathaway's extraordinary performance that is the film's brightest accomplishment.
-Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
I'?ve never seen a movie with this mixture of fullness and desolation. Rachel Getting Married is a masterpiece.
-David Edelstein, New York Magazine

Synopsis

When Kym (Anne Hathaway) returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister Rachel (Rosemarie Dewitt), she brings a long history of personal crisis and family conflict along with her. The wedding party’s abundant cast of friends and relations have gathered for an idyllic weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym with her black-comic one-liners and knack for bombshell drama is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic. Filled with the rich and eclectic characters that have always been a hallmark of Jonathan Demmes films, Rachel Getting Married paints a strikingly perceptive and sometimes hilarious family portrait. Director Demme, first-time writer Jenny Lumet, and the stellar acting ensemble leaven the drama of these difficult but compelling people with wry affection and generosity of spirit.
