Jay Weissberg Variety The film's lack of originality goes beyond its title as it tediously imitates fixed-camera observational indie dramas while privileging dialogue that plays like uninspired improvisation. Dec 18, 2018 Full Review Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter The Wedding is rooted in potentially rich ingredients, but Abbas shoots it in such a flat, minor-key register that most of the dramatic energy dissipates. Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Jordaine Givens Film Threat This could've, more should've, been a darling of a film in a climate willingly to welcome it with open arms. But, this dreamlike love story plays out more like a forgettable daydream. Rated: 6/10 Dec 19, 2018 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Refreshingly nuanced, understated and unHollywood with exquisite cinematography and set design, but it ultimately leaves you cold and underwhelmed. Rated: 6.75/10 Dec 14, 2018 Full Review Gary M. Kramer Gay City News Films like "The Wedding," written and directed by Sam Abbas, often get overlooked because they are made on a shoestring with an unknown cast. But this auspicious feature debut by the Egyptian-American Abbas demands attention. It's a gem. Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
