Margaret (2011)
Written and directed
by Kenneth Lonergan this film stars Anna Paquin, Matt Damon, Mark
Ruffalo and J. Smith-Cameron. A high school student struggles with
her guilt after she distracts a bus driver who runs a red light and
kills a woman.
It took 5 years from
the completion of filming to this film being released due to a
trouble with editing and the final film does feel a little on the
long side. The plot deals with the vagaries of life and guilt, which
works pretty well and I enjoyed the air of ambiguity around the
protagonist. Anna Paquin is especially impressive in the lead role
and does a really good job of capturing a teenager struggling to come
to terms with an adult world.
4/5
