GOOD DYSFUNCTIONAL, BAD DYSFUNCTIONAL -- by Steve Nadis

Movies about dysfunctional families have long since become a cliche. But every now and then one comes along that truly breaks the mold. The latest to do that is "Margot at the Wedding," a literary tour-de-force set on film. The writing in this movie crackles like that of a good novel. The scenes in the film ring true and real, though despite the humor ("laughs that draw blood") it depicts a reality of the grimmest sort.
