Todays Review! RACHEL GETTING MARRIED

Hey! Tonight's review will be about Jonathan Demme's new film "Rachel Getting Married"

When I went to see this movie, I had high expectations. I expected a Tour De Force performance by Anne Hathaway. I expected a fantastic drama by Jonathan Demme. Do you want to know what happened? All of my expectations were fulfilled. I got a deep and dramatic film by the highly acclaimed director of Silence of The Lambs. Anne Hathaway gave an Oscar worthy performance as the Alcoholic, 9-months sober Kym. She makes the audience feel what she is feeling. Making what sounds like sarcasm into pure, raw emotion.

Rachel Getting Married is a stunning, independent, drama that speaks straight to the heart.This film centers around Kym. A young woman who has been in and out of rehab for years. She "checks out" of the center to go witness her sister, Rachel's (Rosemarie Dewitt), wedding.

Facing neglection from her mother and over protection from her father. Kym can't help but to be overwhelmed. Then she meets Kieran. Kieran is the best man and also goes to the same recovery class as Kym. Kym falls in love with Kieran. But as the movie passes. Kym gets more sarcastic and annoying. She wants to "help" so much that she begins to embarrass Rachel.

There is a time in the reception hall, where friends and family are saying their speeches. Then it's Kyms turn. Kym begins her speech. She tries desperately to fit in with the family. She wants to fit in. She wants to become friends with them.

There is a time in her speech where she tells a joke. Noone laughs and Kym gives the most awkward look. The most scared and sad look. She feels like she can't fit in with this family. This group of people.

This film has a very strong supporting cast. Including Bill Irwin as Kyms Father, Debra Winger as Kyms Mother and Rosemerie Dewitt as Rachel.

Debra Winger gives a stunningly perfect 8-minute performance. Abby had been neglecting her daughter for an event that wrecked her life. She had not talked to her for years until the wedding. At the reception, Kym finally speaks to her mother. The conversation is powerful. But you really have to dig deep to find the power in it. When I first saw it, I had only thought that it was an awkward, mother-daughter conversation. But after, I started to think of the conversation. When you think of it, you think of how important that conversation is.

Rosemarie Dewitt gives a fantastic breakthrough performance. She plays wife-to-be Rachel. I personally LOVED her performance with a passion. I found her funny and raw. She actually played it like she hadn't read the script just said what she thought of her sister. She plays it like real-life, and that is what I love about the performance.

This film picked up numerous Critics awards for Anne Hathaway. It also picked up an Oscar Nomination for Hathaway.

I highly recommend this movie. 9/10
