I can't wait until July 10th, when MARGARET arrives on DVD. This limited release film, which took over 6 years to bring to the big screen, is one to see. I missed it in theatres, but was lucky enough to watch a screener copy recently. Wow, what a great film. It stars Mark Ruffalo and Anna Paquin (before she became famous for True Blood).
I was surprised to find out how the title of the movie came about. Read on to read the poem that inspired the title:

Hailed as "one of the decade's cinematic wonders" (Richard Brody, The
New Yorker) and named "one of the best films of the year" (Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times), MARGARET is "ambitious, affecting, unwieldy and
haunting" (Ann Hornaday, Washington Post) and features complex
performances from a powerhouse cast including Anna Paquin, as the film's
eponymous heroine (TV's "True Blood"), Mark Ruffalo (The Kids are
Alright), Matt Damon (We Bought a Zoo, Invictus), and Matthew Broderick
(Wonderful World).

Lonergan (You Can Count On Me) comes a stirring drama Rolling Stone

Damon and Mark Ruffalo lead a celebrated cast in the story of a
Manhattan teenager whose life is profoundly altered after witnessing a
terrible accident. Experience an emotional teen's extraordinary journey
to set things right as her innocent ideals come crashing against the

film," raves Time Magazine.
