Flighty Pauline is getting married to her boorish boyfriend, and after years of mutually cold shoulders, reaches out to her sister Margot, a writer who is brimming over with bile. From the director of The Squid and The Whale, this bitingly funny and painfully honest film makes good use of a fine cast; Leigh delivers a typically brilliant bruised-peach performance, while Kidman hits a career high; brittle and needy, her Margot brings out the worst in everybody and the best in a star who is usually just called on to look glamorous.
