i thought margaret was fantastic. worth the fighting he did over it.

 

I don't know Coolio. I thought it was okay. But I was waiting for it from the beginning and the 5 year shelving probably jaded me a bit. Come to think of it, weren't there two versions of the movie after all was said and done. I think I saw the shortened one. I really should give it another go.

You really should. I watched both versions back in 2011-12 and the extended one was far superior and a really great movie. I also liked the shortened version but it was so haphazard you could tell a lot of things were missing.

I loved both versions of Margaret. The short one hit me with a jolt, the longer one let me luxuriate in the mess longer. The mess being the absolute point. I think at this point it's well on its way to being considered a masterpiece.

Is this going to screen at TIFF?

This will be interesting.

Just watched the trailer and it really didn't do anything for me. Still, I have no doubt it will get nominated, it's almost the definition of an Oscar bait movie. Critics will probably gush over it but its boxoffice will likely be small.

Great trailer, fantastic reviews and it just looks like something I will love. Can't wait.

[The Futurist]

Another critics favorite that GA will politely don't give a fack about.

[Blankments]

I really like the trailer except for the dumb Oscar calls at the end of the trailer. Need to check out Lonergan's other work first though

Saw this tonight - so good. Very understated yet emotional, and Casey Affleck is amazing in this. Too little Michelle Williams though.

I'm already seeing ads for this. Anyone know if a big expansion is planned yet? Can't wait to see this.

It's sure to happen, the only question is when. My guess is Roadside won't want to Weinstein it and drag it through limited release until Christmas/Oscar noms, they'll probably push it wide either on Thanksgiving or on December 9 at the latest.

Having seen it, I think tone wise it fits best with a Thanksgiving release.

Winner of Best Film from the NBR, and Best Actor with Casey Affleck.

 

The family's decided to watch this movie for our annual Christmas Day trip to the movie theater, and these wins are getting me more and more hyped to see it.

[filmlover]

Seeing this either Friday or Saturday, I'm so excited.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I saw this months ago it is very good and powerful. It will stick with you after you see it.

Truly incredible film and performance by Affleck.
