Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves, two giants of nineties cinema, deliver the best performances of their careers in director Victor Levin's witty take on nuptial dysfunction.

Levin delves into the acerbic souls of the two sarcastic loners played by Ryder and Reeves, forced to endure a wedding together.

Their biting barbs mask a deeper melancholy that Levin cleverly reveals. Shot economically but brimming with character, the Northern California destination enhances the aimless duo's fish-out-of-water feel.

Ryder, in particular, reaches depths of melancholy rarely seen in her, radiating discomfort with brutal honesty. Reeves matches her line for line. Their chemistry sizzles.

Though a light-hearted film, Levin's sharp observations about the millennial generation's jadedness, relationship problems and family pressures run deeper than most serious indie films. Witty and warm throughout.

A wonderfully entertaining return for two beloved stars in roles perfectly suited to their talents.

Destination Wedding was the most surprising film of that summer, destined to become a cult favourite.

It earned a Golden Globe nomination for Ryder's lead performance, proving that she is still one of our finest actresses.

At film festivals such as Sundance, SXSW and Palm Springs, it received a shower of audience awards, proof that its humour and themes run deep.

Commercially, it did very well for its tiny budget of $3 million. It earned $8 million worldwide in art house cinemas.
