curious story. will see what be maded.
OMG, I hated “Rachel Getting Married” with a white-hot passion. But Lumet seems like a smart woman so hopefully she’ll do a sensitive adaptation of this book.
Why would you hate that movie with “a white-hot passion”?
OK, maybe you didn’t care for it, but it was an indisputably well-made film.
I personally hate (with a white-hot passion) adults who start sentences with OMG
Aside from the goofy Eastern influences that were thrown in for God knows why (plus the entire extended family was so perfectly racially PC balanced that it may as well have been a 2 hour long United Colors of Benetton ad), “Rachel” was pretty accurate in it’s portrayal of a family trying to cope with a family member that’s a recovering addict. I know this because my sister may as well have been Rachel, and I’ve seen many, many Hollywood and Lifetime movies try to cover the subject, and fail miserably. It deserved far more accolades that it received, for that fact alone.
I so agree with you. “Rachel” was an “emperor has no clothes” film. I saw it in a sparsely attended theater of all women in New York, and when it ended, we all bonded in agreeing how terrible it was. That dishwasher scene was one of the most embarrassing spectacles I have ever seen. And the wedding….just ridiculous and oh so politically correct.
I enjoyed Rachel Getting Married ! A good choice by Jenny , but lots of flashbacks I guess ?!
I loved RGM!
Isn’t she also Lena Horne’s granddaughter?
I hated Rachel Getting Married.
The racially “balanced” or more aptly put, blended family portrayed in Rachel Getting
Married was likely not some utopian PC projection, but a reflection of the screenwriter’s own realistic family experience, which is mixed-raced. Despite the film’s other flaws, the choice was refreshing and forward-thinking and a reprieve from the typical racially and culturally homogeneous Hollywood family studies.
An artist is usually doing something right if people either love it or hate it. Mediocracy = death.
‘Rachel Getting Married’ was not a perfect movie; it was flawed… but the writing was not one of the flaws. I look forward to Lumet’s next effort.
