Directed by: Jonathan Demme
Cast: Anne Hathaway, Rosemarie DeWitt, Bill Irwin, Debra Winger
Running Time: 114 minutes
Kym Buchman gets a
temporary release from drug rehab to attend her sister Rachel’s funeral. From
the moment she arrives, tension starts to build from a long and complicated
family history, casting quite the shadow over the proceedings.
This is a compelling story delivered on screen by a good director and a solid team of actors. The characters are multi-layered and complicated, so the talented cast has a lot to sink their teeth in too. At times, it dwells a bit in the melodramatic, but such can be family life sometimes I guess. All things considered, this is a very good film.
