What critics compared Ceremony to
In particular, one might wonder how the seemingly level-headed Zoe would submit to the caricature that is Whit (who echoes Jean-Pierre Léaud's character in Last Tango in Paris ), or long for more details about Sam and Whit's romantic past.
Angarano, talking fast but saying nothing, channels the bratty schoolboy from “Rushmore” as he schemes his way into the Long Island estate where the wedding is to be held, dragging along a sidekick (Reece Thompson) who is even duller.
He is, in word and deed, the second coming of Max Fischer, the precocious playwright from Wes Anderson’s “Rushmore.”
