Yesterday Variety said “Jonathan Demme’s dysfunctional family drama Rachel Getting Married lifted the Venice Film Festival out of its midpoint slumber, as the Lido heads toward what is expected to be a more satisfying final stretch.” This came on the heels of Ronnie Scheib’s review gushing about the performances, directing and music saying it rides “emotional rollercoasters to the ever-changing rhythms of the wonderfully eclectic in-house bands whose music never ceases.”
The Hollywood Reporter pointed out the film’s political parallels while Deborah Young’s review says the film “breathes a breath of honest cinema into a lackluster competition” at the Venice Film Festival.
Rachel Getting Married will also be showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival, which begins today and we have just received the poster for the film starring Anne Hathaway and directed by Jonathan Demme in a film which centers on Kym (Hathaway), who returns from drug rehab to her troubled family as it prepares for the interracial marriage between Kym’s sister Rachel (Rosemary DeWitt) and Sidney (Tunde Adebimpe).
The film officially hits theaters on October 3 and you can check out the poster below, the full gallery of pics right here and watch the trailer here.
