More beautiful – Margaret: Extended Cut review
Margaret: Extended Cut – Starring Anna Paquin, J. Smith-Cameron, and Jeannie Berlin. Directed by Kenneth Lonergan. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. Before being granted a theatrical release in Australia, Kenneth Lonergan's Margaret screened on international Qantas flights; a comically fitting yet wildly unfair outlet to complement the feature's pitiful roll-out in a handful of American cinemas […]

Camera buff – Afterschool review
Afterschool – Starring Ezra Miller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Addison Timlin. Directed by Antonio Campos. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo.

Both concern troubled teens at an elite school near New York City; both involve a gory tragedy being witnessed firsthand by its protagonist; […]

Margaret – Starring Anna Paquin, Jeannie Berlin, and J. Smith Cameron. Directed by Kenneth Lonergan. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. There might not be a sadder cinematic story than that of Margaret. I'm not specifically referring to the film's contents, though it is indeed sad, and haunting, and beautiful, and brilliant (we'll get to that […]
