If you loved The Manchurian Candidate, try Rachel Getting Married
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Jonathan Demme. If that's the register that drew you to The Manchurian Candidate, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Rachel Getting Married is
A wayward guest arrives home for a wedding minus the usual white-knuckle grip on sobriety. The bride’s sister steps off the rehab carousel just long enough to watch vows exchanged. The camera lingers on awkward toasts, treating relapse like another family dish.
