Passionate, brilliant filmmaking. This is a truly enjoyable movie and an instant classic. For me, however, two flaws -- while the acting is uniformly top notch, I thought the lead was miscast. He didn't look he spent a lifetime growing up in the slums...his brother, who is perfectly cast, fits much better.
And second, while the film purports to be realistic, the amount of English spoken in the film is not.

Yes, I recommend this movie.

Rachel Getting Married is a half brilliant, half baked movie with some great performances (Bill Irwin, Rosemarie Dewitt) and some that are just performances (Anne Hathaway). The movie is quite moving at times, and at other times, seems like a combination of someone's wedding video or personal family diary. The great, great Jonathan Demme's hallmarks of great music, fine performances and an attention to nuance, as well as an egalitarian view of the world are on full display. Take 10 minutes out of the movie, put the camera on a tripod once in a while, and give me more closure at the end, and I would say it was an unqualified success.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
