Margot at the Wedding

Year: 2007

Country: USA

Tagline: One family. Infinite degrees of separation.

Plot: A slice of family life: sisters, husbands, children, history, secrets, jealousies. Margot and her teen son, Claude, travel from Manhattan to her family's Long Island home, occupied by sister Pauline, Pauline's daughter, and Malcolm, the slacker Pauline will marry outdoors that week under a tree neighbors want removed. Backbiting marks family discussion, particularly between the sisters and in Margot's cutting remarks to Claude. Pauline tells Margot a secret that Margot promptly tells Claude. Margot dislikes Malcolm and undermines him. She also has marital problems and a lover nearby. People are cruel, inside and outside their families. Is there a refuge for Margot or for Pauline?Margot and her son decide to visit her sister, Pauline after she announces that she is marrying less-than-impressive Malcolm. In short time, the storm which the sisters create leaves behind a mess of thrashed relationships and exposed family secrets.
