Review of Margaret (2011) by Jim L — 05 Jul 2013

An hour into this film, I had to turn it off. The writing was so messy and seemed like bits and pieces were being glued together by a 5yo. While the premise of the story had potential, as the characters began to unravel they just went every which way but the right way.

For example, the piece on the mother's cold-shouldered date with Ramon followed by her masturbating made no sense.

Upon reading up on the film, it's no wonder since the writer even had a hard time attempting to find an ending to this. My take - don't invest your time or energy.
