Those of us who make it to adulthood are survivors of a volatile, scary time of life. While the late-teen, early-adult period has been the topic of many movies, young adults being a very lucrative market, not many have dug past the surface.
Kenneth Lonergan's Margaret is a rare exception. Anna Paquin bites off the lead role with relish and her scenes with J Cameron-Smith, who plays her mother, more realistically portray the tensions of that particular relationship than any I have seen. Here is an excellent article by Aurora Amidon in Screen Queens about the film and how it manages to portray a period we all remember, but rarely get to see depicted accurately.
