Though the film was shot in 2005, it didn’t reach theatrical release until 2011 with a 150-minute version after a years-long legal battle between the studio and filmmaker Kenneth Lonergan, a staunch defender of his artistic vision. Lonergan’s preferred cut, close to three hours long, was released on DVD the following year, and now, nearly two decades after production, the American Cinematheque is proud to present the extended cut in all of its glory and gore on the big screen, where it always belonged. The film follows a young woman who 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. MARGARET features performances from an all-star cast including Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo, J. Smith Cameron, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Broderick, and Lonergan himself, with Anna Paquin as the lead, holding the audience steady through ripples of emotional turbulence.
