From Academy Awards?? nominated* writer/director Noah Baumbach ('The Squid and the Whale') comes a daringly funny and bracingly honest exploration of the tender, absurd and sometimes excruciating relationship between siblings. "Played with an uncompromising fearlessness"** by Academy Awards? winner? Nicole Kidman and Golden Globe nominee? Jennifer Jason Leigh, this nakedly honest film lays bare all aspects of the human comedy. Margot (NICOLE KIDMAN), a savagely bright, razor-tongued short-story writer who creates chaos wherever she goes, sets off on a surprise journey to the wedding of her estranged and free-spirited sister Pauline (JENNIFER JASON LEIGH). Margot, with her son Claude (ZANE PAIS) in tow, arrives with the force of a hurricane. From the minute she meets Pauline's fianc? ? the unemployed artist Malcolm (JACK BLACK) ? Margot starts to plant seeds of doubt about the union. What ensues is a "frequently brilliant, squirm-inducingly funny"+ film.
