A very good movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since I always had a weak spot for Jonathan Demme’s work, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, I was positively surprised by the damned thing, I thought it was really strong and I’m surprised it didn’t get more love when it was released. The first thing I enjoyed about this movie was the way they displayed this wedding. Indeed, it must have been the first time I ever saw such a realistic wedding in a movie. Seriously, it felt like a documentary and it was just really awesome. The other thing I loved was the way all the characters were very well written and nuanced. Indeed, they were sometimes nice but then later on they would be seriously annoying and, as a result, they always felt like some real human beings which was just very refreshing. Also, with this movie I finally saw Anne Hathaway showing some actual acting chops and, from that point,  I finally started to understand why Christopher Nolan picked her up for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was a very good drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
