"... Out actress Cathy DeBuono sparkles as the lesbian pretending to play the girlfriend of a straight woman in Out at the Wedding. Risa's low-key confidence is extremely appealing, and DeBuono skillfully straddles the line between drama and comedy. By the time the movie is nearing its end, you find yourself more invested in Risa's happiness than the lead character's - and not just because Risa's gay. ..."
