MOVIE REVIEW
Rachel Getting Married (2008)
Bob Vergara/Sony Pictures Classics
Dear Jonathan Demme,
You made one heck of a thriller, “The Silence of the Lambs,” back in 1991 and inspired a slew of hyper-stylized detective thrillers such as “Seven.” But whatever cache or goodwill you earned with critics and moviegoers you’ve surely squandered away in the ensuing 17 years. It’s understandable that the mechanisms of the genre probably bore you to death. But if “The Manchurian Candidate” remake is any indication, thrillers are seemingly the only kind of films you excel at. Unfortunately, you’ve allowed your bleeding liberal heart to get the best of you.
