I was keen to look at a couple more Kenneth Lonergan movies after enjoying 'Manchester by the Sea' so much. It's long and slow (150 mins) and half way through I did wonder where it was going, consequently it does ebb and flow.. Having said that, on reflection after completing the film it is actually a pretty interesting character driven piece that explores personality dynamics in families and guilt and closure. Anna Pacquin does an amazing turn as the awkward teen, if a little hystrionic at times, and it's far more than a coming of age story.

Jeannie Berlin is also very good as Emily the deceased's friend, although is only marginally more neurotic than the rest of the characters.

I will say that it has one of the most powerfully beautiful endings I've seen in a long time. Lonergan sure knows how to captivate an audience.

I stuck with it and it delivered. 8/10

After years of production issues this film finally saw the light of day. Overall it was pretty good. Had the potential to be better.

Love Ana but was kinda disappointed with the ending, it was a little anti-climactic.

About a girl who, while sensitive and very emotional, keeps coming close to what looks like the "correct moral ending," then veers off in rebellion to the other side, then (Spoilers!) has a hard time staying put. Margaret is volatile.

I was proud to see Anna Paquin prosper in something I thought high caliber. Yes, she was in The Affair, but I haven't liked her roles since True Blood.

Thanks, Hulu, for another good choice.
