Margaret

2011, Movie, 2h 30min

17-year-old Lisa feels certain that she inadvertently played a role in causing a traffic accident that claimed a woman's life. In her attempts to set things right, she meets with opposition at every step. Torn 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 with the realities and compromises of the adult world.

Paquin creates that rarest of things: a profoundly unsympathetic character who is mysteriously, mesmerically, operatically compelling to watch.

...knotty, ambitious and trading in messy human truths, it’s the work of a master dramatist.

An affecting character portrait with excellent acting from Paquin, Smith-Cameron and Ruffalo. I watched the Extended Cut which runs three hours and isn't a minute too long.

Det enkla, icke forcerade men ack så briljanta spelet som kommer fram i de smarta dialogerna med de vassa replikerna, uttalade helt utan ansträngning, är bara så bra! Och jag jublar i tysthet.
