Margot At The Wedding

2007 • 92 minutes

About this movie

Margot Zeller (Nicole Kidman) is a short story writer with a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. On the eve of her estranged sister Pauline's (Jennifer Jason Leigh) wedding to unemployed musician/artist/depressive Malcolm (Jack Black) at the family seaside home, Margot shows up unexpectedly to rekindle the sisterly bond and offer her own brand of "support." What ensues is a nakedly honest and subversively funny look at family dynamics.

Ratings and reviews

The movie isn't altogether special, but it is quite memorable. There's a certain dysfunction in this movie that you learn to understand as you get older. Great movie if you're into psychology or anything similar.

This movie is ice cold but it is oddly charming. Nicole Kidman absolutely nails this performance, as does the actor who plays her son. Their relationship is fascinating.

Horrible, not worth the money and you won't get the time back. Move on!
