Alicia I love this movie so much

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Red_Identity So the film definitely has some of the most unlikeable characters I've seen in a drama in a while, but the writing is constantly interesting and when you think the film is about to collapse it comes back to life. Still, not to say it isn't flawed or that it's "great" because it's not, but definitely effective. The whole cast is pretty great, although I wish someone else had been cast in Jack Black's role. Kidman especially is a force here, and it's mind-boggling how she failed to get an Oscar nomination for this. It also helps that she has a constantly unpredictable character, and where you shake your head at her and the others you also empathize with them in other ways.

Jimmy Devlin I've just watched the movie Margot At The Wedding. I wish i hadn't wasted my time to be honest.Starring Jack Black, Nicole Kidman etc. i can honestly say that its one of the most utterly depressing, dismal, grim, pointless, pathetic excuses for a movie i have ever seen. I persisted with it, and kept on telling myself that it could not possibly stay as terrible as it was. I was wrong. very wrong indeed. Jack Black cut an extremely pathetic figure as the husband to be,and surely he will be embarrassed by this entire production? Nicole Kidman seems to excel in playing neurotic women,and she didn't disappoint .To sum up, avoid this at all costs!

Gram Any attempt I make to describe this film isn't going to do it justice, in short: if you like dark and powerful films then watch this, you won't regret it. In long: I was bored so I watched this with 0 hype on cable. I watch 1-2 films per day almost every day but I was completely blown away by how powerful the screenplay is on this film. It features Nicole Kidman, someone who wasn't on my radar of good actresses and Jack Black - a slapstick comedian, what on earth was I suppose to expect here? The reality is that the screenplay for this film could be performed by a twig alongside a slice of apple pie and the twig would win an Oscar. It's an extremely dark depiction of a relatively normal event, a wedding, through the interactions of half a dozen flawed adults and the three children that they drag, kicking and screaming, through childhood.The writers really paint the complexity of everyday people, these aren't people that have extreme mental disorders - these are people you work with that often find themselves thrust together and bound by the most semantic of bonds, family, friends, marriage. Nicole Kidman blew me away as 'Margot', arguably the most flawed of the characters but by no means the protagonist or villain. Jack Black really suppressed his usual over-the-top slapstick to give a subtle performance of a serious character.I was watching avidly until the end which was like a punch in the face. I mean in the middle of a scene it just says 'Fin'. This film should have been twice as long as it was! Maybe I was just so into the film that I didn't want it to end, either way I make it an 85 minute film when I wished it was over 2 hours.

ozjeppe Author Kidman brings her teen son along to her childhood house in Long Island, NY for a weekend - mainly to attend her estranged sister's (Leigh) planned wedding to slacker Black. Least to say, nothing goes as foreseen, as the dysfunctional family personalities clash and their broken skeletons practically dance out of the closet.No easy watch here, as writer/director Noah Baumbach brings us a most dour and dense family drama that really puts the wiever like the fly-on-the-wall. Frantically paced and edited, shot mostly on hand-held camera, this is definitely not without its assets (including strong, gutsy performances and story unpredictability), but suffers mostly from Neurotica Exhaustion as the anguish is being non-stop thrown in your face. Sometimes it's funny just because laughter is the only way out of the claustrophobic atmosphere of its emotionally wrenching characters. Dialog is memorable, but so edgily candid and aloof that it's hardly realistic. And how many characters do we really have strength left enough to care for in the end? Nice to hear some old Blondie songs, though! 5 out of 10 from Ozjeppe
