Review of Margaret (2011) by Jon N — 09 Sep 2012

Lisa (Paquin) distracts driver Gerald (Mark Ruffalo), a fatal accident takes place, killing a pedestrian 'woman' instantly. It is revealed that the driver had previous accident record. Lisa with help of victim's longtime best friend and cousin try seeking dismissal of the driver.

I have had difficulty understanding some of families living in the United States, they confront inside home aggressively and the very moment you see them apologizing to each other (apology is good thing to do and takes courage to state that you're wrong - at-least in case of this film it only freaks me out). I want to slap each critic on RT who have entitled Paquin's overacting to 'performance'. Martin Scorsese is already going off the track (Hugo a nonsense film) like Steven Soderbergh, by engaging in movies like this, he did work on its run-time editing.

She is irritating and spoiled teenager. She has low progress at school, loses her virginity to her classmate on her own will, she disrespects her mother, yells at her, loses her temper when the only Syrian discusses Israel-Palestine issues, terrorism, Ku Klux Klan (I wonder a brat like her could even know what all this is actually - but she is pointed out creating censorship on part of taking on a single student in whole class, even by her other students)...well where was I...yes, she smokes a cigarette, continuously shoos her little brother, she lets herself on her handsome math teacher (Matt Damon), she disapproves of her mother's boyfriend, she tells friend of victim that she felt like daughter to victim who was dying in her lap (wow she disrespects her own mother and believes she's got qualities to be daughter to someone she doesn't even know), she falsifies her statement first regarding accident...she never attends her mother's famous play, and she hates Opera, but at the end she goes to attend one with her mother and the two cry hugging each other (although I don't think she should have understood Opera,), she has had an abortion and tells that to her teachers,,,,after reciting this whole pack of her honors, the only thing she believes, she does right is by having the bus-driver fired...what anapplaud-able milestone! And for that are we to excuse her for all that poem of melancholy that I just went through.

NOTE: My intention was not to dishearten some fans of Paquin, she is really an irritating in this film. She has done worst overacting ever. I only watched this movie because of my favorites Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo, Jean Reno.
