Kim comes home from rehab to be in her sisters wedding. There was a tragedy in the past and unresolved issues among family members that are voiced during various parts of the weekend.
This was a pretty good effort, more about music and mood/atmosphere than human emotions, fairly lightweight and fun. Certainly not near as good as After the Wedding which was riveting drama. This seemed like it was too improvised and random to carry much weight. I do not like the hand held camera in movies but it was not too bad in this film, just a minor distraction and at times I felt like I was part of the wedding party so, overall, I give this a medium recommendation.
thanks
Phil
