Anne! Wow! Amazing! This movie was oscar bait Anne and some of her co-stars for sure. The quick and dirty: a lot of the scenes could have been cut, the director tried way to hard to make a wedding that was interesting to watch and instead made one that was too preposterous to believe. At first the tight camera work left me claustrophobic, but ended up bringing me into Kim's (Anne) world without letting me escape, just like her. She BLEW ME AWAY! The story is intense, slow, and unflinching. Kim is a junkie. She in in rehab and leaves for a weekend to watch her sister get married. As the movie stalks forward, clues and histories unfold as Kim threatens to fall apart as well. Teetering between being despicable and pathetic; Kim struggles to make everyone around her struggle with her. In the end, you are left scared and hopeful.
