Rachel Getting Married
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Release Date: October 3
Cast: Anne Hathaway, Rosemarie DeWitt, Debra Winger, Bill Irwin, Tunde Adebimpe
Scoop: 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 with her. The wedding party's abundant cast of friends and relations has gathered for an idyllic weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym--with her sardonic one-liners and knack for bombshell drama--is a catalyst to ignite long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: What happens when two sisters have to take a good look at themselves in the mirror--right before a wedding? Good luck! And make room for all the baggage they're bringing along. These two clearly sober up each other, and Jonathan Demme's teaming up with Sidney Lumet's scribe daughter Jenny, makes for a kinetic combo.
Snapshot Prediction: 4.5 out of 5 stars
