Heartfelt and funny, the film follows three sisters who return to their childhood home for a momentous weekend: the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother, Diana Frost (Kristin Scott Thomas). The three daughters are from vastly different walks of life: Katherine (Scarlett Johansson) is a Captain in the Royal Navy; Victoria (Sienna Miller) is a Hollywood star; and Georgina (Emily Beecham) is a hospice nurse. Over the weekend, the family gathers to celebrate the new marriage, but mother and daughters alike are forced to revisit the past and confront the future, all with help from a colorful group of unexpected wedding guests.

Critics Consensus

My Mother's Wedding boasts appealing scenery and a wide array of talent, but fatal miscasting and a bloated story keep Kristin Scott Thomas' directorial debut from being a blessed event.

It's an effectively made, beautifully acted piece, but as with many family dramas, much of this could have been sorted out if a few confidences had been shared a few decades earlier.

This is a film that is simultaneously too much and too little.

“My Mother’s Wedding” neatly juxtaposes its subplots with the joyous event that serves as its centerpiece. The wedding allows Scott Thomas to bring in several minor characters for an effective moment or two.

Co-scripted by Scott Thomas, My Mother’s Wedding sets course for Richard Curtisland but the jollies feel like window dressing for the girls’ more tragic backstory.

1.5/5

An unfortunate and even heartbreaking failure for first-time filmmaker Kristin Scott Thomas, who clearly has personal ties to this narrative but is unable to put all the right pieces together to make something coherent or compelling.

...sadly, despite a stellar cast featuring Scarlett Johansson, Emily Beecham, Sienna Miller and Scott Thomas herself, it’s a fairly perfunctory family drama.

Pretty good! The 3 sisters are amazing. The setting, in the English countryside is beautiful.

I wanted to love it but the pacing needed improvement and it felt a little disconnected. It was okay.
