No Guests
As I'm writing this, the film hasn't been released in Australia and as a result, I haven't seen it yet. I do love romantic movies, though, and that's why I'm reviewing this one. It's certainly one I'm keen to see!
It's a drama, rather than a comedy, but apparently there is some dark humour in the film. Estranged daughter Kym (Hathaway) returns to the family home for her sister's wedding. Family dynamics are tested, and tensions resurface, creating a sad and emotional journey for the characters in the film and the viewers.
This film has been highly acclaimed by critics. Some say it's one of the best films of the year. The music is apparently very good, the performances by the actors (particularly Hathaway) brilliant and the film deep and powerful. With all I've heard about this film, I'll definitely be seeing it.
