    The life that swirls around Kym before, during and after her sister's densely populated, wonderfully detailed wedding seems to have been caught on the fly in all its sweetness, sadness and joy. (In its free-form style the film constitutes an elaborate homage to Robert Altman.) show more

    A film whose lightness of touch rides a wave of family conflict to perfectly balance smiles and tears. show more
