Rachel Getting Married (2008)

This movie surpassed my expectations, which was awesome. Knowing nothing about this film, besides it being screen at TIFF'08, my impression going into it was, wow, I hope Anne Hathaway isn`t annoying.
I really liked the film for it`s naturalistic style. The handheld camera work was cool, and the dialogue didn`t seem forced. Anne Hathaway did a really good job as a newly clean junkie, who is trying to cope with going home, and living in the shadow of her successful sister.
On some level I was able to relate to the sisters` bond. Regardless of what your sister does there is still unconditional love present, and I liked how regardless of how out of control Kim acted, Rachel was still forgiving, even letting her be the maid of honour.
I can see why this film got a lot of attention, it has a good feel to it, even though there is heavy drama involved. It flows very well, and keeps the audiences attention.
