With a terrific central performance from Hathaway, this superbly directed, emotionally engaging drama succeeds in making us care for the acid-tongued, self-obsessed Kym and her much put upon family. Fresh out of rehab, Kym returns to the family home, where the family frictions run deep, for the wedding of her younger sister Rachel. This is an intense, assured and refreshingly unconventional story of family ties and sibling rivalries in which old tensions and new hopes jostle for position.
