Thanks should be given for the big queue at the Cineworld that led us to abandon an attempt to see Revolutionary Road and hotfoot it to the GFT to see this instead.
It was absolutely fantastic, both on silly "wow, that's a really cool wedding" way (there was a samba troop, loads of musicians sitting around, Sister Carol) and in a "wow, Anne Hathaway is an amazingly good actor" way. She is really, really good; the whole 2 hours are spent inwardly fighting the equally dominant feelings of love and hate you have for her character, Kym. She walks the tightrope perfectly. In almost every scene you want to hug her and shout at her, which, incidentally is what the family do most of the time!
This is what Noah Baumbach's disappointing "Margot at the Wedding" should have been.
Film of the year so far. Hope she gets the Oscar.
