Margot at the Wedding

(Paramount Vantage)

Starring: Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jack Black

Nicole Kidman and Jack Black expand their dramatic (and comic) repertoire in this film about two very different sisters. Margot (Kidman), an uptight neurotic, can’t help speaking her mind about Pauline’s (Leigh) sweet, if unconventional, fiancé (Black), whom she’s only known for a year. It’s a slow-moving story, but it offers powerful insights about family.
