Rachel Getting Married. Harrowing and gritty movie about a young woman who leaves rehab to attend her sister's wedding. Her background story is delivered in little snippets that flow naturally. I like that. Exposition in a film is always a tough maneuver. Anne Hathaway is very good in the role of the young woman. At turns she elicits great sympathy but also anger as real addicts do.
The rest of the cast is mostly unknown to me, but they are wonderful in their supporting roles. I'll rat it 8/10.
