Helena at the Wedding

amerindie

A group of friends in their 30's gather at a mountain cabin for New Years. During the two days many of their failures and illusions are revealed in subtle, drunken ways. Sort of an update on The Big Chill. It also reminded me of The Four Seasons.

A good cast, working from a good script pulled this off without it becoming melodramatic. The overall effect was to highlight just how temporary and fragile contemporary relationships are. A celebration of the time in life of great disillusionment and how people either cope or not.

Worth it.
