Acclaimed Academy AwardR-nominated writer/director Noah Baumbach ("The Squid and the Whale", "Kicking and Screaming") brings to life a sharply observed portrait of a family in distress. His latest project is an unflinchingly honest story about coming to terms with one's family and oneself, a journey that is both funny and heartbreaking. The film has been described as a character-driven comedy-drama. It stars Nicole Kidman and Baumbach's real-life wife Jennifer Jason Leigh as sisters named Margot and Pauline, and also features Jack Black, John Turturro and Ciara¡n Hinds. Kidman's character, Margot, is a successful but neurotic writer who brings her 11-year-old son (Zane Pais) to spend a weekend visiting her free-spirited sister Pauline (Leigh) on the eve of her wedding to Malcolm (Black). Margot disapproves of Pauline's choice of fiancee, which causes tension between the two sisters.
