There are films that you make love without effort, perhaps underestimated by critics omniscient, but able to leave you speechless. Well this is what happened to me with "Margot at the Wedding" work in 2007 by one of the most interesting of American independent cinema, Noah Baumbach.
Maybe I found out later, but as a wise old aunt says "it's never too late"!
Distraught, kidnapped and overwhelmed by countless episodes, not without twists, the show's Avetrana I should not wonder too much. The reality is often stranger than fiction.
Well ... Baumbach's film has done nothing but confirm the existence of degraded family secrets. Secrets are often silenced, ridiculed, left misunderstood, but metabolized carefully hidden.
The film is a microcosm of unspeakable family, A slice of family life: betrayed husbands, two sisters who are being rediscovered friend-enemy, secret stories, hidden jealousies, anger, frustration not elaborate.

But it also comes a notice of love, deplorable interference, weaknesses and insecurities. On the whole seems to dominate the parent-child relationship, complex, contradictory, and sometimes disturbing.
At the end of the movie I said to myself: people are bad, inside and outside the family. There will be a refuge for "Margot and Pauline?
who is not able to deal with and "defeat" unhealthy family relationships, what of?
