Rachel Getting Married

Boy I tell you Netflix loves telling me to watch these independent type films that are so black. The movie revolves around Anne Hathaway's drug rehabbing character and her sister's wedding. Hathaway killed her baby brother while driving him around stoned. So her life is complicated.

The movie is so confusing and shot very strange. It seems to have been done with nothing but hand held cameras almost to a Blair Witch degree. With that you have some seasickness and sloppy scenes. One of my least favorite is when they come home at night and the scene moves to an unlit room that stays unlit for quite a bit of time.

I still don't get the whole wedding. The dress and decoration was Indian but there is quite the eclectic collection of guests and cultures. I was confused. And the groom had huge glasses. What the heck was going on.

The movie ran just shy of 2 hours and not surprisingly it could have been easily cut down to 90 minutes or so. I'm not actually sure if this was an independent film or not but it sure has that feel of trying to do to much and is too full of itself with its overly complicated camera actions and the shear unnecessary length of scenes. This movie gets a C- from me and that might be a bit generous. It's tough to recommend anyone to use 2 hours of their time on this film.
