Movie Reviews of Rachel Getting Married
Movie Review: One of the best in years
Summary: 5 Stars
Just saw this and have no great insights to add to the positive reviews up front, but don't believe those who give it one or two stars. This is a strong piece of work, well filmed, really fine nuanced script, incredibly well acted and it feels like a real family. Now if you hate going home for Christmas because of the tension, maybe you need to get ready for the intense dynamic of this semi-functional family or maybe just watch the Waltons instead. Not a light comedy, not an action special effects bubble gum flick. Just a great movieMovie Review: A great and complicated film
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this at the Jacob Burns movie theater where Jonathan Demme and a few of the cast and crew spoke to the audience. This was a wonderful film, one of the best of the year. Every actor, including Anne Hathaway, Debra Winger, Bill Irwin and the rest, gave splendid, nuanced performances. I felt the movie was very true to life in portraying the complications of drug addition and dysfunction in families. Jonathan Demme and Jenny Lumet are to be commended for bringing such a hard, complicated and rich story to the screen. Bravo!Movie Review: There's no accounting for taste.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was moved to tears by this sensitively observed, impeccably acted, unpredictable family drama. Demme's handheld digital camera suggested the intimacy of a home video. I spent time with this family, felt a part of the events, both traumatic and jubilant. Moments of raw anguish gave way to passages of nigh-unbearable embarrassment, which in turn metamorphosed into sequences of serene beauty and tenderness. A very true film. A very good film.Movie Review: Jonathan Demme scores big again
Summary: 5 Stars
As part of the cast of this fine film, I can say it was one of the best experieces I've had as an actor. I've seen the final result, and I have to say that in my opinion, Mr. Demme once again proved he is a genius. Too many movies today hide their inadequacies behind an excess of special effects. Mr. Demme proved a great movie can still be made relying on character development, plot, and good dialogue. I highly recommend this fine film.Movie Review: Shocked at this film's Amazon reception
Summary: 5 Stars
I was just considering buying this movie when I was shocked to find the Amazon rating for this movie so low. It was in my top five from 2008 and exhibits exceptional performances from the entire cast, whether it be Anne Hathaway, Debra Winger, Rosemarie DeWitt, or Bill Irwin. I am a fan of Jonathan Demme's work and I thought this was a remarkable little family drama and it deserves more respect than it seems to be getting here.
