Product Description

Product Description

A young woman witnesses a bus accident, and is caught up in the aftermath, where the question of whether or not it was intentional affects many people's lives.

From Amazon.co.uk

A film whose initial release was held up for five years, thanks to a series of legal wrangles, the eventual cinematic debut of Margaret was, perhaps inevitably, strangely muted. But what a treat it is. From director Kenneth Lonergan, who was behind the brilliant You Can Count On Me, Margaret is an ensemble drama, the catalyst for which is a bus crash. The crash is witnessed by Anna Paquin’s Lisa, and it forces her to question whether it was really an accident. Things spiral from there, affecting more than just Lisa herself, and drawing the film’s large cast together.

Margaret is an involving, intelligent and absorbing piece of cinema, that if anything feels a little bit short. Running to well over two hours, there’s nonetheless still a sense that one or two of the story fragments are missing. But still, there’s plenty here to feast on. Furthermore, there are interesting themes that Lonergan’s film isn’t shy about exploring, and there’s a good deal to dissect once the credits roll.

Don’t be put off by the relatively low-key DVD release, then. Margaret is a gem, the kind of film that’ll be discovered for some time to come, and appreciated by those who like their drama with some real substance to it. The long delay in releasing it hasn’t helped the film, certainly, but Margaret very much deserves to find a big audience on DVD. --Jon Foster

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best American films from the last 30 years
By lucas on 5 Feb. 2014
Format: DVD
"Margaret" is extraordinary, rare cinema. The film last almost three hours but it never lets up.

The story is excellent, the camerawork is excellent and the actors are excellent. Especially the main actor, Anna Paquin, who carries the film for its long duration.

I didn't recognise her, at first, but after a quick internet search I found out that she is one of the mutants in XMen, a completely different kind of film that only tells what an amazing actress Anna Paquin is. I also found out that she is the little girl in "The Piano", film for which she won the Oscar for best supporting role at the age of eleven!!!!!!!!!!! Eleven exclamation marks there...

"Margaret" tells the story of a high school student who is learning the differences between the world we want and believe when we are very young and the real world, the one we make as we get older...

The story is so strong, so intense, so gripping and at the same time is delicate and has so many levels of perception.
I personally dislike teenagers but this film is certainly one exception. On that, I thought it was strange why none of the teenagers were not spending half their day or more on Facebook and youtube as I thought this is a new film.

The information on the dvd says that the film is from 2011 but this is incorrect.
"Margaret" was actually filmed in 2005 ( reason why Matt Damon looks so young in the film... ). What happened is that, after the end of the filming, there was a court battle that delayed the release of the film for six years.

This is only the second long feature film of Kenneth Lonergan, director of "Margaret" . It is pretty impressive because, my god, this film is so good. I watched it two days ago and am still thinking about it.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsWell made but not for me
By andy on 19 Feb. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Please be aware that there are potential spoilers in this review about the ending of the film.

Margaret seems like a film that has had a great deal of care taken in the making of it. For example, whereas in many films, a typical phone conversation would be shown in an almost clinical way – every syllable of every word from both parties being heard. In Margaret we are given the phone conversation with the kind of distractions we all get from time to time (in this case someone playing a piano in the next room) and it gives an air of realism to the film. Margaret is a film that is not rushed, perhaps even being a little too slow at times with lingering shots of sky-lines or slowly capturing the ambience of all the diners in a restaurant. It is though a well-made film with competent performances from the cast and with much care on the technical side of the film with filming, lighting, direction, music etc.

So the reason for the three starts? Well the main character spending the whole film shouting – shouting at her mother, her fellow students, at new acquaintances, at just about everyone she comes into contact with. There is much more to the film than her shouting but that is the lasting memory (real or perceived) that I have. That and the clichéd Hollywood style closing scene has left me with no desire to spend another three hours watching and listening to her again.

I wouldn’t discourage anyone from watching Margaret, as it is generally a well made film but maybe just one that is not to my taste.

On the DVD you get:

Margaret (extended cut)

4.0 out of 5 starsAdolescent Self-dramatisation..
By Keith M TOP 500 REVIEWER on 3 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD
...Jeannie Berlin's Emily gets right to the heart of the matter summarising troubled, self-absorbed teenager, Lisa's (played by Anna Paquin) increasingly volatile (not to say histrionic) behaviour in Kenneth Lonergan's equally troubled 2011 film. In the 'extended cut' (179 minutes long!) version of Lonergan's tale of New York teenager Lisa's attempts to come to terms with her guilt and grief having been the part-cause of a tragic fatality, the film's 'birth pains' (its release was delayed by four years from the planned 2007 date as Lonergan and Fox argued over its 'final cut') are (for me, at least) certainly evident in the film's editing, but for all its flaws Margaret has a good deal to commend it. That should not come as a great surprise since Lonergan also delivered an excellent (if lower key and less ambitious) big screen debut with 2000's You Can Count On Me, and here the film-maker/playwright draws again on a number of the cast from the earlier film.

Of course, at the heart of Margaret (a referenced Manley Hopkins' poem, not a character in Lonergan's film) is Paquin's bravura, all-engulfing turn as the petulant, feisty and (essentially) unlikeable Lisa. I must admit I found Paquin's histrionics, though no doubt broadly realistic for a hormonally-charged teen, a little OTT and grating, eventually. On the other hand, (Lonergan's wife) J Smith Cameron's performance as Lisa's increasingly 'estranged' stage actress mother - playing up one of the film's key themes of 'miscommunication' - is superb, as is that delivered by the aforementioned Berlin as Emily (particularly during the `confrontation' scene with Lisa).Read more ›
