Also, as per newyorker.com the film critic Mike D’Angelo tweets good news: “Margaret,” Kenneth Lonergan’s extraordinary second film, is coming back this Friday, at New York’s Cinema Village and the rumor is that it will be playing other cities as well. In the meantime, I’ve seen it again (at a press screening last week) and was, this time, overwhelmed by the strength and audacity of Anna Paquin’s lead performance, as an Upper West Side high-school student who goes toe-to-toe with some fairly intimidating authority figures. Paquin herself goes toe-to-toe with some pretty tough and powerful actors (including J. Smith-Cameron, Jeannie Berlin, Mark Ruffalo, Matt Damon, Matthew Broderick, and Jonathan Hadary) and asserts—affirms—blasts out, for her character, a place in the world as she does for herself on the screen.
