Those who surrender to Demme's disarming, almost participatory technique will find themselves overwhelmed, exhilarated and inspired by the eternal possibilities of cinema.

Even Hathaway's remarkable, Oscar-worthy performance can't save it.

Rosemary Dewitt is fantastic.

Rachel Getting Married is a magical wallow in excess, a too-happy, too-sad, too-indulgent plunge into an over-planned wedding.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

It's a successful experiment that leaves you with a mix of hope and despair. To the lovers, best wishes. To the lonely, our sympathies.

Tom Long, Detroit News
