Review of Rachel Getting Married (2008) by 773Sleepyhollow — 16 Nov 2008

Is it too long? Yes. Self-indulgently so? Yes. But the film's pluses (the performances, the unsettling blend of dark and light tones, the admirable decision not to neatly tie up every last narrative strand) greatly outweigh the minuses.

.. and I wonder if some who call the film manipulative are not comfortable with the real emotional reactions the film may have produced in them.
