Rachel Getting Married - One Sentence Review

Though, admirably and stylishly realised with a genuine sense of atmosphere, whilst managing to point out that the cultural and familial identity of an American wedding is fluid and not fixed, this is a deeply unsatisfying film, featuring extremely unlikable characters with almost no redeeming features, who fail to even manage to be compelling in their unpleasantness and ultimately, this utterly charmless movie cops out and leads an interesting set-up into an unfulfilling dead end full of artificial and un-earned hints at redemption.

2.5/5 (The extra half is for style and atmosphere)
