Critic Reviews

  • 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.

  • Joe Baltake, Passionate Moviegoer

    Kidman's Toxic Narcissist Drives Bracing 'Margot at the Wedding'

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    There's no question Baumbach has a way with words and actors (Kidman, Leigh and Jack Black are terrific).

    I really liked The Squid and the Whale and so was really looking forward to this but I have to say, I'm disappointed. I liked the cast, every performance was first rate - even though that did mean that they all played 'annoying' rather well. You know a film isn't… More

    Margot played by Nicole Kidman reminds me of a girl I once dated from Boston College, I was doing a crossword puzzle and I asked her how to spell elephant, and she replied elephant e l e p h a n t elephant, that's a third grade word. My reply was good f-&^ing bye a 2nd grade… More
