Review: Rachel Getting Married

Saturday October 4, 2008
Anne Hathaway - Rachel Getting Married - Movie Review

Anne Hathaway shows off her dark side in Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married. As Kym, a recovering addict returning home for her sister's wedding, Hathaway lets loose in her edgiest role since the straight-to-DVD Havoc. She sports a short, choppy hair cut, wears the requisite bad girl black eyeliner, and throws a variety of tantrums. It's nearly impossible to count how many fights, family revelations, and teary-eyed reconciliations happen in this film, a veritable orgy of family angst.

Debra Winger, Mad Men's Rosemarie Dewitt, Bill Irwin, and Tunde Ademimpe co-star. Rachel Getting Married opened on Friday in limited release. Read Marcy's review.
