Jonathan Demme created a beautiful celebration of magic and love and life with this movie. The best moments were built outside of plot intricacies but instead summoned out of moments of joy, music, dancing, emotion, and mania.
Jenny Lumet's screenplay can be a bit too obvious and that's what keeps it short of perfect, however, the cast of wonderfully unique faces, and the actors behind those expressions, manage to shuffle the screenplay into dark corners that put the brakes on the celebration at hand. Are you having a good time? Good. Here's another melodramatic downer before you can go back to the nuptial festivities. I kinda like it.
Run to see this if you love movies where you feel you're immersed in their world, where you know everybody there, where you are instantly transported from the darkness of the theater or the comfort of a living room. Very moving stuff.
