Product Description

Product Description

Rachel Getting Married is a contemporary drama with an aggressive sense of humor about the return of an estranged daughter to the family home for her sister's wedding. Kym's (Hathaway) reemergence throws a wrench into the family dynamics, forcing long-simmering tensions to surface in ways both hilarious and heartbreaking. Rachel Getting Married paints a colorful, nuanced family portrait and is fil

Amazon.com

Pitched between Robert Altman's A Wedding and Noah Baumbach's Margot at the Wedding--but more cautiously optimistic than both--Rachel Getting Married marks a change in course for director Jonathan Demme. Granted, few Oscar winners have walked a more diverse path. After a series of documentaries and remakes, the Silence of the Lambs helmer tries his hand at the intimate chamber drama. With the help of actress Anne Hathaway and screenwriter Jenny Lumet, daughter of filmmaker Sidney, he pulls it off. The festivities kick into high gear once Kym (Hathaway, with smeared eyeliner and unkempt hair) takes a break from rehab for her sister's big day. It soon transpires that Kym, who hides her wounded soul behind a veil of sarcasm, serves as the Buchman's resident black sheep. The problem goes deeper than drugs to a tragedy in which she played a part. As Kym, bride Rachel (Mad Men's Rosemary DeWitt), their parents (Bill Irwin and Debra Winger), groom Sidney (TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe), and the rest of the bohemian Connecticut brood struggle with the past, the nuptials continue, graced by performances from past Demme collaborators like Sister Carol East (Something Wild) and Robyn Hitchcock (Storefront Hitchcock). The hours between reception and after-party contain humor, affection, and painful revelations. In the press notes, Demme claims that he and cinematographer Declan Quinn (In America) attempted to make a film that looked like "The most beautiful home movie ever made." Using handheld cameras and believably flawed characters, they've done just that. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

    5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best movies of the year
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I was terribly surprised and saddened to see all of the negative reviews that have been written up for this movie. After skimming quite a few of them, I was surprised to see that some of the reviewers seemed to have missed the point of the film.

    Rachel Getting Married is certainly not an action film. There are no explosions, guns, dead bodies, ghosts, or slimy monsters. Nor is it a romantic comedy. I think perhaps the attention from the academy- whose selections are often more conventional and showy- might have caused many people to have false expectations for the film. Fans of other academy favorites, like "A Beautiful Mind," or "Gladiator," might be disappointed with this movie. My father, for example, would probably never sit through this movie- neither would my brother, for that matter. Its just not how either of them would want to spend his Friday night. I don't think everyone should like this movie, but I think that it should be judged with appropriate expectations in mind.

    I noticed that one reviewer mentioned that he/she could not enjoy the film because he/she found Anne Hathaway's character to be so unlikeable. I have to wonder if that viewer watched the movie all the way through. Rachel Getting Married is a portrait of a family faced with the seemingly insurmountable challenge of forgiveness. The director shows us who this woman is through the relationships she has, rather then through her actions. In the beginning of the film I also despised this character- she appears to be a narcissistic, selfish woman obsessed with her own flaws, greedily feeding off of the attention of everyone around her. As the movie progresses, however, the director mercilessly peels off layer after layer of the recovering addict- and as the minutes tick by, the viewers get swept up into the emotional turmoil of the film. I found myself empathizing with the character, and loving her despite her tremendous flaws. Once the film had ended, I realized why it was necessary to react violently to her in the beginning.

    I believe that the director was trying to remind the audience what it truly means to be a family, and how difficult it can be to forgive someone you love, even when you know that they are still punishing themselves. Rachel Getting Married is hard to watch, perhaps because many viewers must have people in their life that they cannot bring themselves to forgive- including themselves. How many of us have had a brother, and uncle, a parent, who did something so despicable, so terrible, that we could not look at them without being reminded of it? How many of us have known addicts who have done terrible, terrible things? How many of us avoid these people, not trusting them, not trusting ourselves, because the love we feel for them is involuntary, and leaves us vulnerable to their potential future mistakes? Rachel Getting Married forces us to examine this relationship- to experience it throughout the course of Rachel's wedding.

    As far as the movie being pretentious- I thought that it actually took a few shots at the pretentious, liberal, intellectual family (the unexplained cultural theme of the wedding itself, for example, I thought particularly funny). But perhaps I was only able to appreciate this because of my own experiences with privileged families (both liberal and conservative) growing up.

    This film is not for everyone, but I thought it a beautiful and skillful portrait of a woman- not as an individual, but as a daughter and a sister. As a person whose actions effect those around her- as a person who desperately wants to be forgiven. The performances are especially breathtaking, and the overall message is relevant. I loved it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Nicely Woven Family Drama
    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    After years of low radar documentary films, Jonathan Demme, teamed up with the daughter of Sydney Lumet, offer up this very well written and evenly balanced family drama, anchored down by some pretty great performences.

    The main character of the film is recovering addict Kym, who has just been recently released from rehab to attend her sisters wedding, the title's own Rachel. Upon her arrival, it becomes immediatly obvious she is the 'black sheep' of the family and her presence stirs up a lot of tension that has been brewing in the house for years.

    Talent definintly runs in the family, with Jenny Lumet crafting a very balanced screenplay that is able to be both funny and dramtic without teetering to over the edge of overdone drama and lame laughs. Demme also does a fine job directing, offering up his best film since Silence of the Lambs. If there is one critism that I can point out is that the director does seem to over indulge in certain scenes, most specifically the dinner toasts and wedding reception. But those are only minor when looking at the film as a whole.

    Every performence is great, with the most obvious stand out being Anne Hathaway. Unlike everyone else, I have known for a long time that she could do a character like this. After her role in the exceptionally great Brokeback Mountain, it was only a matter of time till she burst out and became a full fledged serious actress. With razor sharp humor, jet black hair, and an almost broken down demure, she is one of the few actresses out of the whole year to dissapear into a role, where instead of saying "oh look, its Anne Hathaway being a drug addict", you say "oh look, its a drug addict". One hundred and ten percent yes that she got that Oscar nom. All thats left is for her to take it.

    A must see in the awards season and one of the years best films.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Il capolavoro (nascosto) di Jonathan Demme
    Reviewed in Italy on June 22, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Ha fatto Philadelphia, Il Silenzio degli Innocenti, Una vedova Allegra, Qualcosa di Travolgente. Vinto oscar e trionfato a Hollywood. Ma questo ë per me il suo capolavoro. Uno dei suoi film piu recenti, ora che si sta dedicando molto di piu ai documentari, Rachel é un film che del documentario ha molti aspetti che lo caratterizzano alla grande: il senso di liberta e immediatezza come se la storia accadesse proprio li davanti a noi, grazie ad un cast di attori straordinari, scelti benissimo, e il tutto ripreso e montato con camere sempre piazzate alla perfezione e che si intrecciano con le dinamiche e i movimenti degli attori.
    Uno stile fresco, un racconto corale, una storia che, oiu che dell'evoluzione dei personaggi, vive dell"ambiente che creano davanti a noi e nel quale ci immergiamo. Il regista ci fa vedere e sentire quello che sentono i personaggi immersi negli ambienti, nelle stanze, negli angoli della casa. Vediamo particolari, scorgiamo in penombra altri nella stanza accanto, sentiamo una voce venire da un lato e poi altri dialoghi nella direzione opposta. Silenzi, parole che si intrecciano, personaggi che passano e vanno, altri che si fermano, cose che succedono in contemporanea,il tutto reso con una maestria degna del miglior. John Cassavetes.
    Ma il risultato non é replicabile a parole. Va vista e vissuta. Se non siete esperti di cjnema, vi sembrerà un bel film. Ma se riflettete che tutto quello che state guardando é in realta scritto, diretto e interpretato, forse capirete quanto sia difficile far sembrare il tutto vero e naturale.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un film plein de finesse, juste et touchant
    Reviewed in France on April 4, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    "Rachel se marie" n'est pas la comédie dramatique américaine classique. Servi par des acteurs remarquables de naturel, caméra à l'épaule, le film nous plonge dans une famille le temps des préparatifs d'un mariage. C'est l'occasion de voir se dessiner les contours des différents conflits familiaux, des querelles plus ou moins enfouies, des tentatives de réconciliation. "Rachel se marie" parle de la famille, de responsabilité, d'irresponsabilité, de tristesse, de joie, d'égoïsme, d'abnégation, de désespoir, d'espoir, de patience, d'impatience, de courage, de lâcheté, et surtout d'amour. Beaucoup de subtilité et de finesse dans ce film en demi-teinte empreint de joie malgré les peines de la vie. De très belles tranches de vie qui donnent à penser et incitent au pardon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!... Cynics need not apply!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 6, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I love films that take a more relaxed pace and allow you to really get absorbed. Many of the people who hated this film may have been uncomfortable with its 'heart on the sleeve' approach - people often find it easier to watch raw emotion if it is painful, rather than joyful.

    The speeches the night before the wedding are no doubt hard to watch for those who could never imagine themselves expressing their deep love for friends and family in such an open way. For the rest of us, if you can get over a slight sense of voyeurism, it is a joy to watch and the longer it goes on, the more you get drawn in to the film.

    As for the multicultural medley, this adds another dimension to the film - for me a very enjoyable one, with the multitude of styles and sounds and some wonderful singing and music. However, perhaps this is just a matter of taste.

    Ultimately, it is interesting to see how Hathaway's 'black sheep' fits in (or not) to this almost too perfect wedding, bringing up issues and trauma as she goes, but never exposing it to be a sham - very sorry cynics!
