Margot at the Wedding
“One family. Infinite degrees of separation.”
ComedyDrama
Margot Zeller is a short story writer with a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. On the eve of her estranged sister Pauline's wedding to unemployed musician/artist/depressive Malcolm 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.
VIBE
This film feels like a painfully honest, yet darkly hilarious, dissection of fraught family ties. Expect awkward silences, sharp dialogue, and characters you love to hate. It's a raw, uncomfortable, and ultimately rewarding watch.
