The relationship between the two siblings has never been harmonious, a situation that is exacerbated when Margot discovers she cares very little for her sister's fiancé (Jack Black). Soon the high-strung Margot escalates a feud between her sister and the neighbors, and family secrets come to light, forcing everyone to rethink their various feelings toward each other. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Baumbach's interest in families - a distinct Baumbachian sort of family - is acute and his observations often painful and delivered with a dry wit.
-
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Kidman's performance keeps you transfixed all the way through, because she delves into her character's damaged psyche so fully, you're constantly fascinated to see what biting, acidic thing she will say next.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Apart from John Turturro in a cameo, all the characters are monsters and/or basket cases.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
There isn't a pleasant, wholly likable character in the cast. But you can't avert your eyes from it.
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
Writer-director Noah Baumbach solidifies his standing as the modern bard of American dysfunctional families with Margot at the Wedding, but at the same time he's recycling material he's already covered, and covered more exquisitely.
