Movie Reviews of Rachel Getting Married
Movie Review: Well written and acted
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband refused to watch this after the first few minutes. He doesn't like the way the camera moves around, and assumed it was a chick flick. After I finished watching I told him that it was wonderful, and he said he was sure it was (sarcasm here). So I was very interested to see the high ratings with men's names, who said that at first they thought it would be a film girls would like, but that they liked it, also. Given the part of the story that happened prior to the film, that you find out as the film progresses, it is fascinating to see how people act, and how believable it is. And I loved all of the "mundane" things that went on during the preparation, rehearsal dinner and wedding. It made it so real. I wish I could do a better job of describing this film, because I think anyone who watches it will be very glad that they did.Movie Review: EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the finest films I've seen in a LONG time. I was on Amazon to buy something else when I noticed the average rating out of 75 reviews was only 3 stars. I thought I would take up some of my valuable time to bump that up a bit because it deserves it!!! When I saw that 23 people only gave it 1 star, it stunned me! I guess what "they" say is true. We all are, truly, watching our own movie. Being a psychology major it always amazes me that you can take any number of people and get such completely different reactions. This movie is REALISTIC, HONEST, GRITTY, DEEPLY MOVING, and one of maybe 2 or 3 that I went out and bought after renting it this year. The handheld cameras that some complained about are part of what made it feel so REAL. One of the ABSOLUTE BEST AND MORE UNIQUE FILMS I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!!! Peace, and Love, L.Movie Review: A Very Different Hathaway
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a beautiful film about a recovering addict trying to figure out exactly where up is. Kym is a former model currently in rehab. She has been let out due to her older sister Rachel's upcoming marriage. During this happy time there are many family secrets that begin to surface and bring up the long lasting tension. I love this movie so much. It was definitely one of the best films in 2008. It's so different from what we normally see from Anne. I especially love how the film was shot in a documentary naturalistic style. It was very unique and appropriate for the mood and setting of the movie. The whole entire cast was wonderful. I was so proud to see it receive nominations and recognition.Movie Review: What does it mean to truely love?
Summary: 5 Stars
The most salient issue I observed in Rachel Getting Married was the complexity of what it means to truely love. We can see the obvious love between Rachel and her finace, the betrothed and their friends, and the father for his children. We are challenged to consider what part forgiveness, guilt and responsibility play in these complex relationships, and how we can better show our love for each other.
Rachel Getting Married is an emotional rollercoaster, showing us unparalled joy and destitution, making both more palpable. This movie is sure to enter my list of long term favorites.
Movie Review: Flawless
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film yesterday on demand, and I was completely blown away. Never have felt personally invested in film characters before. I felt like I was getting to know my own family. This film slowly blossoms, revealing just how many layers each person has, reminding us of the deep of our own humanity. The acting is top-notch, along with the gorgeous cinematography and perfect music. This film has raised the bar for good film-making. You will laugh, you will cry, you will empathize and might even become angry. I can't recommend this film enough. It's my new favorite.
