Family Treenew
One wonders if Noah Baumbach didn't come to Margot at the Wedding with inadequate material to flesh out an entire feature. Some parts just don't hold together.

Family Matters in 'Margot at the Wedding'new
Everyone is on the brink of something in Noah Baumbach's latest -- marriage, divorce, puberty -- and by the time one character huffs, "I'm out of breath," you'll have a reasonable idea of how she feels.

Hooray for Family!new
If there's tenderness in Margot at the Wedding, it's steeped in ulterior motives and self-deception: This is not a feel-good film.

Inside Noah's Artnew
As with anyone in their late 30s or early 40s, Noah Baumbach's psycho-sexual development owes a lot to the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

Margot is Wretched, but 'Margot' is Involvingnew
I'm not a big fan of films that force us to spend an hour and a half with awful and/or hopelessly fucked-up people, but Margot at the Wedding is written with enough wit and performed with enough skill that I found it impossible to turn away from the Zellers and their collective emotional train wreck.

'Margot at the Wedding' is Imitation-Salingernew
Noah Bambauch makes it easy to dislike his films; problem is, he also makes it easy for New York's media elite to praise them. His deliberate ugliness makes him the Lars Von Trier of Brooklyn and the Hamptons.
