Margot at the Wedding
Margot at the Wedding is the newest film from writer/director Noah Baumbach. As was the case with his previous effort, The Squid and the Whale, Margot tracks the misadventures of a bookish family on the verge of oblivion. While less overtly pedantic, Margot is every bit as intelligent, witty and cruelly honest. Margot (Nicole Kidman) is a well-known (to the literati, at least) fiction writer. She is chilly and enigmatic, but fascinating to be around. Wherever she goes, trouble seems to follow. Her teenage son (Zain Pais, in a heartbreakingly brilliant debut) has some serious attachment issues, verging on a full-fledged Oedipus complex. Together they fly out to Margot’s sister’s wedding. What ensues is something of a train wreck. Whether you want to or not, you just look can’t look away. Read more
