Review of Rachel Getting Married (2008) by Patrick L — 26 Aug 2013

Rachel Getting Married features Anne Hathaway as Kym, the sister of a bride to be, in an ensemble cast which includes Debra Winger. Watching the extra features and deleted scenes has turned me off of this film for now.

I watched it last night (Feb. 28, 2013), stopped it a time or two - the movie is quite "life like" and very different for the most part. Kym is not particularly sympathetic at first but she "grows on you" gradually. I didn't care for the bridesmaid. Debra Winger was good in this...the fight between her and Anne a bit of a surprise. I will post the rest of my review later...

Rachel Getting Married, though hard to watch at times, was well worth the wait and the time taken to view it. Anne Hathaway stands out as Kym who has come from rehabilitation to attend her sister's wedding.

Conflict results over relationships, behaviour and a past tragedy in which Kym had caused her brother's death due to driving while under the influence of drugs. Debra Winger is the mother who is no longer with her husband/Kym's father. Anne and Debra have a scene in which they argue then hit each other, quite explosive and unexpected! 8/10.
