This story of a family reunited for a wedding at their rambling family pile in Connecticut. Shot in naturalistic handheld camera style, the viewer moves through the throng of diverse family and friends in just the way a guest might, and the family’s secrets and lies are exposed. “Those who surrender to Demme’s disarming, almost participatory technique will find themselves overwhelmed, exhilarated and inspired by the eternal possibilities of cinema.” (Tom Huddleston, Time Out) (Cert 15)
