RACHEL’S GETTING MARRIED

RACHEL’S GETTING MARRIED

Anne Hathaway stars as Kim ‘the public’s kinda afraid of me’ Buchman- the black sheep of the family. She is fresh from rehab and forced to deal with sobriety, previous tragedies and the fact her perfect sister (and soon-to-be Doctor) Rachel, (Rosemarie Dewitt) is trying to create a perfect wedding amidst a dysfunctional, nuclear family. The eclectic characters are a common thread in director, Jonathon Demme’s films. Often spontaneously shot on handheld cameras, the film has the characteristics of a home movie and like these videos can only maintain your attention so much before it becomes a chore. It tells a family drama through witty dialogue (more intelligent then real-life relatives,) and could easily be 30 minutes shorter yet still convey the same message. (Natalie Salvo)
