Review: 'The Wedding Guest' is a female empowerment drama disguised as a thriller
Dev Patel plays a kidnapper in Michael Winterbottom’s “The Wedding Guest.” By Michael O'Sullivan Michael O'Sullivan Film critic and reporter covering movies and the people who make them Email Bio Follow Reporter March 6 at 2:46 PM Rating:
Jay, as we eventually come to know him, has multiple passports, each of which uses a different name, and all of which he has carefully packed in his luggage as he prepares, methodically, to fly from London to Lahore, Pakistan. Upon arrival, he embarks on a road trip west, ultimately ending up in a small town called Younganabad, one of many pit stops in this picturesque tour of the subcontinent.

Does Samira want to go back to her shotgun wedding, Jay asks, or allow herself to be delivered to Deepesh? “It’s up to you,” he says.Writer-director Michael Winterbottom is a shape-shifting filmmaker, and he continues that mutable pattern here, giving Patel the kind of role we’re not used to seeing him in. Jay is not exactly a hero, although he has a kind of honor and perverse honesty.
