Review of Margaret (2011) by Mario W — 03 Aug 2012
Although flawed in its 2.5 hour form, Kenneth Lonergan's sophomore directorial effort is as powerful and affecting a film as you're likely to find in 2011 or any year. Production woes aside, this remains a thrilling portrait of a wide cast of finely drawn characters.
The cast is exemplary, but more notable is Lonergan's creation of four of the most interesting female characters of the last decade. This can be a punishing film, but Lonergan injects true humanity throughout, giving the film an air of specificity and universality that few can match.
