Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune: “Among moments of humor and heartbreaking beauty... the twinned performances of Hathaway and DeWitt shine.”
Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer: “The dramatic moments do make an impact, and the tears they draw from you will scald.”
Sharon Chapman, Kansas City Star: “It so perfectly captures the rhythms and ribaldry of a long nuptial weekend that by the time it’s over you’d swear you were one of the guests.”

Known for his hallmark casting of rich and eclectic characters, Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married presents a striking portrait a family gathered together for a weekend wedding. Returning to the Buchman family home from rehab for her sister’s wedding, Kym (Anne Hathaway, in what could be her strongest performance yet) brings a long history of personal crisis and family conflict, packed with black-comic one-liners and knack for bombshell drama. Kym, however, is only one component of this ensemble of characters--including Debra Winger as the absent mother--which makes the film even that much more remarkable. An idyllic weekend of feasting, music and love for Rachel (Rosemarie Dewitt) and her soon-to-be spouse, craftily presented by first-time writer Jenny Lumet, is at once a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic, with wry affections and a generosity of spirit.
