Review of Margaret (2011) by Matt C — 20 Sep 2017
I thought 'Manchester by the Sea' was a powerful film that really engrossed you in the characters and their story. This, Lonergan's earlier effort is just a mess though I'm sorry. What's it about? It scatterguns across topics and the millions of different characters without ever really examining any of the stories properly.
The central character is just annoying. Going for a privileged, bratty white girl and trying to make you feel sorry for her annoying woes is really a difficult card to play. Ridiculously drawn out as well.
