Review: "Rachel Getting Married" Oct 13, 2008

He still busied himself with documentaries and music projects, and many of these are very good: "Cousin Bobby" (1992), about an Episcopalian priest relation; "The Agronomist" (2003), about a Haitian human rights activist; "Neil Young: Heart of Gold" (2006), a wistful companion piece to "Stop Making Sense." Demme's post-"Beloved" fictional features seemed quixotic at best, though. His remakes of "Charade" (2002's "The Truth About Charlie") and "The Manchurian Candidate" (2004) aren't bad movies,...
