Rachel Getting Married

“Those who surrender to Demme’s disarming, almost participatory technique will find themselves overwhelmed, exhilarated and inspired by the eternal possibilities of cinema.” (Tom Huddleston, Time Out)

“I loved Jenny Lumet’s flagrant disregard for the rules of formula, her lack of concern for making her characters likable in the conventional sense, and for what I considered to be her bold approach to truth, pain and humor. I saw that a film could be made from the script that could mirror my reaction to reading it– that to our own surprise, at a certain point as the story unfolds, despite the script’s refusal to try to manipulate the reader’s emotions, we become part of this promlematic family and care very much about its members.” — Jonathan Demme
