Very confusing
Very disjointed story line. Very little explanation as to why people behaviour the way they do. No sympathetic characters. Got boring.

Rachel Getting Married
- 19 Jan 2009
The family get-together movie never goes out of style – in fact, if anything, it seems more popular than ever. Last week’s A Christmas Tale gave us a Gallic spin on the usual collection of crazy relatives, resentments and reconciliations; a bit more style, a lot less sentimentality.
