Zusammenfassung:	McBride’s rarely screened follow-up to "David Holzman’s Diary" is a stunning example of unflinchingly direct cinema that offers a fascinating response to the questions of authenticity and performance so masterfully raised by the earlier film. A candid and boldly spontaneous portrait of a willful young British expatriate in the twilight of her twenties and on the eve of marriage to a New York "yippie" she has only known for one week, "My Girlfriend’s Wedding" gradually expands to partially reveal, but never explain, the intimacy between director and subject explicit in the film’s title. [hcl.harvard.edu] "In many respects," states critic Jonathan Rosenbaum, "My Girlfriend's Wedding" is "the best 'critique' of "David Holzman's Diary" that I know." When Rosebaum interviewed the director for Positif in the 1970s, McBride noted that he was "fond of referring to it as a fiction film, because it was very much my personal idea of what Clarissa was like and not at all an objective or truthful view."
