★★★★½ Rachel Getting Married
[Gino: 4.0, Twoshoes: 4.5]Gino says: 'I enjoyed this movie about a dysfunctional (or semi-functional) family whose problems come to the forefront when one daughter's wedding brings another daughter home from drug rehabilitation.
Good acting (notably Anne Hathaway) combined with intimate camera work, leisurely pace, and settings that felt appropriate to the story, really brought this to life (... as Twoshoes said, figuratively, it almost feels in 3D.)
The strangest part was that, normally, movies that make me feel this way focus on a poorer family in a more gritty situation (see Raising Victor Vargas). These people are rich, the setting is a big rural CT house, rehearsal dinners, etc. Secondly, the weird collection of artist types that are members of the family and wedding quests don't get in the way of the realistic feel to it.
