Anne Hathaway rebuked for on-set complaints
Actress Anne Hathaway has been forced to address her attitude on film sets after director Jonathan Demme gave her a dressing down when she went on the attack over a script change. The revered moviemaker made The Devil Wears Prada star stop and think when he took her to task for comments she made on the set of their new movie together, Rachel Getting Married. His remarks made Hathaway realise she's not always the mild-mannered good girl her reputation suggests. She tells W magazine: "Jonathan altered s

SHORT TAKE: “Rachel Getting Married” (***)
Some will be drawn to the angst and closeted guilt of Anne Hathaway’s Kym, a portrayal with layers that announces new talent in the starlet.  Others will be delighted and taken by Bill Irwin’s equal doses of authenticity and questionable mugging. Others still might side with the conflicted and forcefully honest sparkplug of the film’s title, conveyed splendidly by Rosemarie DeWitt; or the five or ten minutes Debra Winger gets to step in as an absentee mother before flying off the rails i

Recovering Diva Anne Hathaway Cops to Grief, Bitchiness in Riveting New Profile [Rebounds]
Washing and braiding and overstyling that man right out of her hair, cover girl Anne Hathaway offered W Magazine her most candid interview yet about the travails of her relationship with Rafaello Follieiri. But for all the catalogged heartbreak and homelessness anecdotes and advice gleaned here from her de facto Italian publicist Steve Carell, we're taken even more aback by Hathaway's stirring candor about rebounding on the job — when she's not chewing off her director's head:"Right now I don’t have

Critics fall hard for ‘Rachel’
Since I saw that smart, snappy trailer, I suspected that “Rachel Getting Married” would find a following. Even so, I wouldn’t have guessed that it would turn out to be the critical darling of the Venice Film Festival at the halfway mark. Yet that — aided by the general perception that, the Miyazaki aside, the competition films have been lacklustre — is exactly what has happened. Hours after its Lido screening this evening, raves for the film as a whole are pouring in, while th

TORONTO '08 | Anne, Jonathan and Rosemarie All Smiles
Anne Hathaway, Jonathan Demme and Rosemarie DeWitt were just having a good old time at the Sony Pictures Classics dinner over the weekend, flashing their pearly whites.

"Rachel" balances smart humor, melancholy - Reuters
Jonathan Demme, most recently at the Venice Film Festival with "The Manchurian Candidate," breathes a breath of honest cinema into a lackluster competition with "Rachel Getting Married," a film whose lightness of touch rides a wave of family conflict to perfectly balance smiles and tears.

TORONTO '08 | "Rachel Getting Married" in Toronto
A noticeably nervous Jonathan Demme took the stage at Toronto's Roy Thompson Hall for the Gala screening of his "Rachel Getting Married." Demme was joined on stage by a group of women, including screenwriter Jenny Lumet and actresses Anne Hathaway, Rosemarie DeWitt and Debra Winger. Demme introduced everyone by their home state, and saved Winger for last, who he introduced by announcing, "That's right, she's in my movie!" The film received a standing ovation, and Demme was later seen celebrating at the a

"McCain's situation really does mirror Snakes On A Plane," posits David Poland at the Hot Blog, who goes on to present a bizarre and elaborate box office metaphor that I don't buy, but enjoyed anyway: "But then... it turns out that the only movie opening against it is a Denzel Washington movie. Yeah, he's a movie star and everyone seems to love him, but there also seems to be a glass ceiling when it comes to his grosses."

ANNE HATHAWAY
Anne Hathaway is in the catbird seat. It's TIFF Day 5, and her film, Rachel Getting Married, directed by Jonathan Demme, is the front-runner in the universal-acclaim sweepstakes. Nobody doesn't like it, and everybody is floored by her flinty, f'ed-up performance as Kym, a pill-popper fresh from rehab who doesn't want to mess up her sister's multiculti Connecticut wedding - but just can't help herself. Oscar talk abounds. Mention this to Hathaway, 25, during breakfast at Toronto's Empire restaurant, and she

The Austin Chronicle's Marc Savlov has details. "If this year's Toronto International Film Festival had a subtitle, it could be 'When Good Directors Go Bad,'" proposes Scott Foundas. "At least that's what it has felt like around here as one anticipated new film after the next by some of the world's name-brand auteurs - the C

TIFF Review: Rachel Getting Married
Rachel Getting Married is a terse, smart, funny and tough family drama about forgiveness and failure written by Jenny Lumet; it's also a loose, smart, broad and bright film about family and love directed by Jonathan Demme. When these two things are in sync, the end result is something truly impressive – a moving story that appeals to your heart and soul without insulting your intelligence, a film full of big scenes that never stoops to the most obvious possible iteration of those big scenes, a movie l
