***1/2 StarsAnne Hathaway holds nothing back in Jonathan Demme's family drama Rachel Getting Married, playing Kym, the in-rehab sister of the bride-to-be Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt). Kym returns home for the ceremony while clearly still in the detoxification process from years of alcohol and drug abuse. This is proven the second she gets to the house, as her entire family changes their vibe from on track to on alert during her presence. Kym spends almost the entire time making remarks she shouldn't say, creating tension when she should relax, and putting all of her skeletons in-the-closet on the table for several go-for-broke discussions. Rachel Getting Married shoots a bullet in your heart and shakes you uncontrollably. Hathaway is a knockout, well deserved of her Oscar nomination in what I expect to be the first of many more to come.

agreed. loved this movie. wouldve been perfect had the dishwasher scene and wedding reception scene both been cut down to 20 seconds each or cut out entirely. other than that the movie was amazing.
