Margaret (2011), Kenneth Lonergan
3.5/5
This moralistic drama is beautifully shot. Gorgeous shots of New York, so much that the city becomes a character. The style, with slow motion, long shots, & wide cityscapes is used well. The performances are good, making overwrought & melodramatic characters rounded, conflicting and relatable. Music was beautiful, subtly evoking the tone & mood. It was a good half hour too long & the ending is too neat & melodramatic. There were some heavy handed references & metaphors, giving a sense of pretension, but overall an enjoyable film.
