Margot at the Wedding (2007)
Everybody brings their own personal experience to the interpretation of any book or movie, and for this film, it's my own experience living in a beach house in Connecticut, both with and without the owners being there, each time for a week. That, and the references to New York and Vermont, and to Williamsburg: "You don't want to live in Williamsburg. Only young people live there." And the references to writing, and the social dynamics of family, friends, past and current lovers, and how emotion makes us do unexpected things. These are all things I've been going through in the past few months, trying to make sense of it all, trying to see where I'm going. This movie isn't going to give you an easy answer and it doesn't neatly bundle all the loose ends, but for me it did resolve a few things I've been worried about in my life, and reminded me of how much I miss hanging out with certain friends of mine.
