7:15* at FSLC
“What a glorious mess! Margaret arrives in theaters with little fanfare and the bitter air of failure around it. Don’t believe the scuttlebutt: Lonergan’s sprawling film bursts with ambition and specificity in its novelistic, social-drama narrative. There’s palpable unease in the air (very potently post-9/11), and this strange sense of tension never dissipates [...] the sort of no-holds-barred psychodrama that John Cassavetes specialized in. The film has a cumulative power that’s staggering. This is frayed-edges filmmaking at its finest.”
