The writer and director Kenneth Lonergan’s long-delayed second feature (he shot it in 2005) is a wildly ambitious strain of the Upper West Side bourgeois blues; it embraces big and rich themes and sumptuous tones and moods with a remarkable scope and nuance. - The New Yorker

MARGARET centers on a 17-year-old New York City high-school student who feels certain that she inadvertently played a role in a traffic accident that has claimed a woman's life. In her attempts to set things right she meets with opposition at every step.

Margaret PosterTorn apart with frustration, she begins emotionally brutalizing her family, her friends, her teachers, and most of all, herself. She has been confronted quite unexpectedly with a basic truth: that her youthful ideals are on a collision course against the realities and compromises of the adult world. (Fox Searchlight)
