Margot at the Wedding

2007 · 91 min

A sharply observed, uncomfortable family reunion where wit cuts as deep as resentment, leaving you squirming and moved.

Tagline: One family. Infinite degrees of separation.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, identity, betrayal, guilt
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
