There's already Oscar talk about Anne Hathaway's performance in Jonathan Demme's Rachel Is Getting Married. Anne plays a girl plucked out of rehab for the weekend of her sister's wedding. She's getting raves at the premiere at the Venice Film Festival:
This is quite a different role for Anne from her fairytale princesses, this time starring, instead of supporting as in Brokeback Mountain. Watch the trailer:
In the family drama directed by Jonathan Demme, Hathaway plays Kym, a recovering drug addict who checks out of a rehabilitation center to attend her sister's wedding.
Her acerbic one-liners and need for attention serve as the catalysts for long-simmering family tensions to come to the boil, forcing her to confront her sense of guilt over the death of her little brother.
"An award-worthy Anne Hathaway gives the story a clear central focus," wrote the Hollywood Reporter, while rival trade publication Variety called her "fragile, angry, superb."
