Critics Consensus

Despite a great cast, the characters in Margot at the Wedding are too unlikable to enthrall viewers.

OK, this all sounds a bit tiresome and shop-worn... But, as well as being savage, it is also savagely droll, with several truly laugh-out-loud moments, and the performances are stunning.

3/5

Doesn't quite measure up to its predecessor but it is still an often painfully accurate study of fractured family relationships.

2/5

Dramatically and visually, there's no relief to be had in this self-indulgent downer.

3.5/4

Baumbach's flair for dialogue and keen observation are still in top shape.

The movie just isn't funny, nor is Baumbach's decision to leave the boom in shot in any way avant-garde.

2/5

Margot at the Wedding is a little too literary and its overall air of wry cartoonish dysfunctionality becomes wearing and is conceitedly telegraphed.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Moving and shocking and sad and occasionally funny. No likable characters, in case that's relevant for some reason. Great acting.

What would you do if you were Margot? Accept everything and let them be or try to fix your own way?

This movie was hard to watch with many of the characters constantly at each other's throats. I'd never want to watch it again.

This movie was bad on so many levels from audio mixing so you could barely hear the dialogue to jump cuts that totally confused you about how or why the (or where!) the characters were. Just awful. Felt like a student film haphazardly put together in the editing room because they didn't get all the scenes shot.

Despite some great work by the two women the film is just too gross and outputting to work.
