MARGOT AT THE WEDDING

Details

• Release Year: 2007
• Genre: Comedy, Drama
• Plot: A daringly funny and bracingly honest exploration of the tender, absurd and sometimes excruciating relationship between siblings. “Played with an uncompromising fearlessness” by Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh, this nakedly honest film lays bare all aspects of the human comedy. Margot (Nicole Kidman), a savagely bright, razor-tongued short-story writer who creates chaos wherever she goes, sets off on a surprise journey to the wedding of her estranged and free-spirited sister Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh). Margot, with her son Claude (Zane Pass) in tow, arrives with the force of a hurricane. From the minute she meets Pauline’s fiancé – the unemployed artist Malcolm (Jack Black) – Margot starts to plant seeds of doubt about the union. What ensues is a “frequently brilliant, squirm-inducingly funny” film.
