Drama When Kim (Anne Hathaway) returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister Rachel (Rosemarie Dewitt), she brings a long history of personal crisis and family conflict along with her. The wedding party’s abundant cast of friends and relations have gathered for an idyllic weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym—with her black-comic one-liners and knack for bombshell drama—is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic.

	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It would be a shame to miss 'Rachel Getting Married', which may have its flaws, but which is so persuasively forgiving of the flaws of its inhabitants that you can only respond, in like spirit, with love."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A loose, lively, unhurried and unmissable gem that refuses to sink in the mud of multiplex cynicism. (...) The acting is of the highest caliber. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)."	POS
United States	David Ansen Newsweek	"Hathaway's raw, spiky performance makes (...) a terrific performance, and DeWitt matches her step for step (...) Demme's deliberately unstable mixture of moods and genres produces electric results."	POS
