Amazon.co.uk review
pA small, finely crafted indie drama of true quality, iMargot At The Wedding/i is the latest offering from Noam Baumbach. While his name may not yet cause very many flickers of recognition, anyone who saw his hugely humane, tragicomic masterpiece iThe Squid And The Whale/i, will be beating a path to see his latest film. And they won?t be disappointed. iMargot At The Wedding/i tells the story of two estranged sisters. There?s Nicole Kidman?s acerbic Margot, a writer, and Jennifer Jason Leigh?s new-age Pauline. Margot is ostensibly taking her young son to Pauline's wedding, but she's really running from her disastrous marriage. Frosty and overly intellectual on the surface, the two sisters begin to grapple with their veiled feelings and hurtful memories from the past. The film provides the foundation for a deep and often painful exploration of the insecurities, idiosyncrasies and challenges of family life./p pInterspersing comedy with drama, iMargot At The Wedding/i is a quiet yet highly notable achievement. Kidman is in terrific, neurotic, form in the titular role, and Jack Black pops up in a serious supporting role as the depressed groom to be. Behind the camera, Baumbach more than delivers, with his succinct film coming in at a lean 89 minutes. Make no mistake: Baumbach is one to watch. For now, let us offer up iMargot At The Wedding/i as the latest evidence. --iJon Foster/i/p

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Film   November 27, 2008

I seem to only ever want to write a review, when I watch a terrible film. So I though this time, I would review an excellent film.br /br /From Nicole Kidman as Margot in s a staring role, to a wonderful supporting cast, especially Jennifer Jason Leigh.br /br /Simply a marvellous film exploring a relationship between two sisters and their families. Infectious and unforgettable.br /


5 out of 5 stars an odd way to pass time   October 11, 2008
one of those films with no start and no end, no real story-line and no likeable characters. but nonetheless totally absorbing. kidman is amazing (i normally dislike her). it makes you feel like a voyeur at a dysfunctional-family-anonymous meeting. and that is a brilliant feeling!


1 out of 5 stars Miss it! Miss it!   August 19, 2008
I am obviously not grown up if one has to judge by other reviews on this site. I think Nicole Kidman is great and yes, as usual her acting scores mahor points, but as for the movie i.r.o. viewing pleasure...eek! I think my time and money went down the drain. Sorry.

I really liked this movie, even if The Squid and the Whale is a notch better. There are a lot of screwed up characters, self deception and pathological relationships. Also, there are some parallels (not only the title) to Dorothy Barker's excellent novel Cassandra at the Wedding (1962), with "unreliable narrator" and so on. See Baumbach's film, read Barker's novel, they are great!

If there ever was a film that deserved to be put in the 'stuff white people like' category, Margot at the Wedding is it. That said, this is a great film with lots of funny bitter moments that seem to owe more to the great performances than the efforts of the scriptwriter/director. But I think that this film is a testament to the brilliance of Noah Baumbach, who seems to have successfully stolen Woody Allen's mojo. br /br /This is a film to be enjoyed by grown-ups on a quiet evening with a glass or three of white wine.
