The director's original screenplay feels like a rough draft and the characters' attitudes are almost constantly sour.
Each next turn is so thoroughly telegraphed that it wasn't until the end that it dawned on me I was supposed to be wondering if one of the leads was playing the other and, if so, which one.
Although "The Wedding Guest" is every bit the breezy way to spend a spend a Saturday afternoon as you might think at first glance, it's because it's not what you think it'll be that makes it so satisfying.
a superbly crafted mystery with terrific performances. Winterbottom is a versatile director.
Despite Winterbottom's excellent direction, Nuttgens' photography, and the decent acting from the two leads, the core nuts and bolts of the story fail. "The Wedding Guest" disappoints because its mundane screenplay.
It's told with a no-frills efficiency which, although it wastes little time with story padding, does manage to create a vividly present sense of place.
