Certainly not one of Demme's most polished films but alluring none the less. Rachel Getting Married adopts a documentary style in showcasing ex-addict Kym (Anne Hathaway) return to home for her sisters wedding. The film acts as a looking glass into a dysfunctional wealthy family's life.
The film has strengths and these lie within the characters and the unfolding of their relationships with each other due to a troublesome past. An excellent cast but with mediocre characters.
Anne Hathaway gives a superb performance proving herself to be a dynamic and talented actress despite having taken one dimensional roles in the past. The family's obsession with multi-culturalism is rather irritating here, we're not sure who all the ethnic people are but we know there present for Rachel's Wedding.
Don't expect too much from the film.
3/10
