Margot At The Wedding

We watched the DVD "Margot At The Wedding."

Synopsis

A slice of family life: sisters, husbands, children, history, secrets, jealousies. Margot (Nicole Kidman) and her teen son, Claude (Zane Pais) travel from Manhattan to her family's Long Island home, occupied by sister Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Pauline's daughter (Flora Cross), and Malcolm (Jack Black), 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?
