Rachel Getting Married

"Brimming with energy, elan and the unpredictability of his "Something Wild," Jonathan Demme's triumphant Rachel Getting Married may just lay the wedding film to rest, being such a hard act to follow."

"It’s a small movie, and in some ways a very sad one, but it has an undeniable and authentic vitality, an exuberance of spirit, that feels welcome and rare."

"It’s a small movie, and in some ways a very sad one, but it has an undeniable and authentic vitality, an exuberance of spirit, that feels welcome and rare."

"A friend asked: "Wouldn't you love to attend a wedding like that?" In a way, I felt I had. Yes, I began to feel absorbed in the experience. A few movies can do that, can slip you out of your mind and into theirs."

"Full to the brim with the delightful, dysfunctional anarchy that only family can provide. It’s certainly worth a gander, and not just for Hathaway."

"A film whose lightness of touch rides a wave of family conflict to perfectly balance smiles and tears."

"A triumph -- Demme's finest work since "The Silence of the Lambs," and a movie that tingles with life."

"One of Hollywood’s forgotten masters and one of its brightest new actresses team for what could well be an Oscar wild card."
