Margot At The Wedding (2007) : A Rant (Spoilers)

i just finished margot at the wedding and was a little stunned by all of its negative reviews/ratings. i loved it. dare i say, i enjoyed it as much as frances ha and mistress america. the characters are relentlessly fucked up and every bit human. i love kidman and leigh and their perfect depiction of what sisterhood truly is at its core, how most times familial relations are all you hold on to even tho they're bursting at the seams. the "i tell everyone that you're my closest friend" and "you've successfully ruined two of my marriages" and every single twisted, tensed, you're-miserable-and-i-see-you emotion between them. i can see how there are extremely uneasy moments in the film that might make the audience give up halfway through it, but ohmygod i love baumbach for showing nothing but life. plain, boring, mistake ridden, indecisive, angry, confused, non-poetic lives. how everyone around margot keeps telling her she's kinda fucked up and how she never shows but quietly accepts it. how jim's kindness has an opposite impact on her, leading her to convince herself that she needs to leave him bec of HIS tender actions (and how small they make her feel), not bec of the consequences of HER OWN misdeeds. how malcolm is just an asshole, nothing more or less, and how pauline doesn't really want to see that, and convinces herself that she's been with someone decent for a year (it was interesting when she admits to margot they're at an age where men won't even look at them, which like probably is why she "settles" for malcolm). i also love how claude is not left behind in all the messes of adults, how we're shown what children at his age observe, assimilate and crystallize into their personalities. claude needs his mother to be more present, his need to just be seen and acknowledged is loud but god so inaudible at the same time. and this is only bec of margot's own blindness, her selfishness and harshness seeping into all of her relations, almost ruining everything she touches. but it's so gradual. and it's so subtle but ingrained that you cannot miss it. i love baumbach. i love how he shapes characters, how there's so much to say with so little dialogue yet such vast desires i love this movie a lot!!
