Theatrical Trailers Version: Standard DVD Review: Synopsis:
From Academy Award nominated writer/director Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale)comes a daringly funny and bracingly honest exploration of the tender, absurd and sometimes excruciating relationship between siblings. "Played with an uncompromising fearlessness" by Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman and Golden Globe nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh, this nakedly honest film lays bare all aspects of the human comedy. Margot (Nicole Kidman), a savagely bright razor-tongued short story writer who creates chaos wherever she goes, sets of on a surprise journey to the wedding of her estranged and free-spirited sister Pauline (Jennier Jason Leigh). Margot, with her son Claude (Zane Pais) in tow, arrives with the force of a hurricane. From the minute she meets Pauline's fiance - the unemployed artist Malcolm (Jack Black) - Margot starts to plant seeds of doubt about the union. What ensues is a "frequently brilliant, squirm-inducingly funny" film. Buy It Now:
