ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Oscar nominated Director/Writer Noah Baumbach (MARRIAGE STORY, FRANCES HA) brings his keen knack for depicting family stories on screen, along with an all-star cast, to Gotham and Film Independent Spirit Award nominated film MARGOT AT THE WEDDING. Starring Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman, Academy Award nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Golden Globe nominee Jack Black, it centers on a self-absorbed writer who attends a family wedding with the intention to break up the couple-to-be. The Los Angeles Times raves, "There is a rawness to the characterization in this lacerating film that pushes family drama right to the edge."

SYNOPSIS

Margot and her son Claude decide to visit her sister Pauline after she announces that she is marrying less-than-impressive Malcolm. In short order, the storm the sisters create leaves behind a mess of thrashed relationships and exposed family secrets.
