The Guest List

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather for a remote, magazine-styled wedding to celebrate a rising television star and a magazine publisher. The occasion is lavishly produced with a designer dress, boutique whiskey, luxe party favors, and a remote location where cell phone service is spotty and the waves are rough. As champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies mingle with reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen revive a drinking game from school, a bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress, and the bride’s oldest male friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast, while a body becomes part of the event.
