The Wedding Guest's reviews
Media reviews
Vulture
It?s all quite gorgeous, and surprisingly moving. 'The Wedding Guest' shows just how much you can do with a wisp of a story and a whole lot of cinematic vision.
The Washington Post
A satisfyingly unpredictable meditation on female agency, in a culture in which women are too often treated as a man's possession.
Entertainment Weekly
The phrase ?low-key thriller? might be an oxymoron, but it also feels like the best description of The Wedding Guest.
New York Post
There?s also a broader commentary here on the treatment of women, both in arranged marriage and in testosterone-heavy thrillers.
The A.V. Club
'The Wedding Guest' with enough base-level mystery to ensure that it?s gripping for at least the first hour. The film benefits from how little it initially tells us about the characters; once Winterbottom explicates their motives, the luster begins to fade.
New York Times
The scenery, nicely shot by Giles Nuttgens and covering a wide swath of the country ? Amritsar, New Delhi, Jaipur and Goa ? is always great, and Patel and Apte?s chemistry approaches scalding levels as their characters grow closer.
