    Before it leaves at the end of the month, watch Jonathan Demme's RACHEL GETTING MARRIED (2008) At once tender, painfully honest, and incisively funny, the film abounds with the rich and eclectic characters Demme specialized in creating, brought to life by a virtuoso ensemble cast.

    "Many directors find truth in skepticism, but Jonathan Demme often found it in the sparseness of in-betweens. He knew the great promise of rehearsals: for wedding dinners & musical performances & people trying on new ways to heal.” - @lindseyromain.bsky.social on RACHEL GETTING MARRIED

    RACHEL GETTING MARRIED (Jonathan Demme, 2008). What an amazing film this is! I’m struggling to think of a better portrayal of a family trying to navigate the trauma of grief, guilt, blame and addiction, all while trying to get through what should be a joyous celebration. (1/2) #FilmSky

    Just found some papers in a drawer that reminded me: Jonathan Demme's film "Rachel Getting Married" had a working title of "Dancing With Shiva," which I preferred. More evocative, less generic. I enjoyed working on the film (as sound designer) & Jonathan was always a pleasure, in my experience.

    RACHEL GETTING MARRIED // Sorry, but this movie shreds. Also, I think this film — more than mumblecore, more than Woody Allen — is the blueprint for the tv sadcom, which, sorry again, is a good genre of tv.

    Among many other directors, Roger Corman launched Jonathan Demme's career. In return, Demme gave him a memorable role in "Rachel Getting Married," the movie that helped me the most in my quest to stop drinking. So the director of "X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes" helped save my life. R.I.P.

It’s supposed to get a movie adaptation starting Anne Hathaway and I hope they let her go full RACHEL GETTING MARRIED mode on this because this heroine is so unpleasant.

    2015's 'Krisha' is an extraordinary but emotionally brutal film. It reminded me of 'Rachel Getting Married' in its fly-on-the-wall realism mixed with the bracing truths of fractured families. The movie itself is outstanding, but it was probably a mistake to watch it on the day before Thanksgiving!

    Rachel Getting Married (2008) by Jonathan Demme. Very miserable film about the stigmatisaion of mental illness and drug addiction. Though it kinda has a hopeful ending but yeah the film hits a lot of spots. Ordinary People (1980), also very sad. OP is the better of the two tho
