Rachel Getting Married

Finally....the movie I have been waiting around for has made the wait all worthwhile. Anne Hathaway has graduated from being a teen princess to Gay man's wife to Miranda Priestly's assistant to actual gifted, talented STAR. She has blossomed into a flower of a million colourful petals. Nothing less than GREAT could be said of her performance. The rest of the cast were just as amazing; Debra Winger, Rosemary DeWitt and Bill Irwin are just to name a few. It's a pity it didn't quite have a big theatrical release here in Malaysia. I love the handheld camera angle director/producer Johnathan Demme created. It feels fresh, making it appear as though it's some sort of mockumentary. Dramentary would be nice. The film had great a wedding as the title role and racial mix turned out to be a good idea. Hathaway and DeWitt made a good sister-sister pair and you should wait till you see some action between Winger and Hathaway. She really did earn her Academy Award nomination. Too bad she was in a league too ahead of her.
