Welcome for any number of reasons, this is a gratifying return to his independent film roots for Oscar-winning director Jonathan Demme, a powerful screenwriting debut for Jenny Lumet, a Herculean job of handheld cinematography by Declan Quinn and a career changing performance by Anne Hathaway, of all people, as an ultra-troubled young woman let out of rehab for her sister's wedding. (Kenneth Turan's review of "Rachel Getting Married")
Synopsis of "Rachel Getting Married"
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-humor and knack for bombshell drama — is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic.
