Margaret Ratings & Reviews

July 1, 2025
“Bravi!” Good old-fashioned trauma bonding. Josh Hamilton’s Bobcat Goldthwait impression was fun! J. Smith-Cameron is absolutely phenomenal. Michael Ealy has been the most handsome man I’ve ever seen for about 70% of my life. Feel like there’s no topping that at this point. Not believing Anna Paquin is a high schooler in this. I mean she played a college girl in Trick ‘R Treat four years prior! (edit: never mind. just read that this was filmed in 2005 and it makes all the political discussions in the film much more applicable) The runtime looks scary but honestly it blows by!

Even in its truncated state, this is pretty gripping stuff.

Leonard Maltin
It has its flaws, but I defy you to find a more intelligent or impassioned American film this year.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Ambitious, affecting, unwieldy and haunting, it's an eccentric, densely atmospheric, morally hyper-aware masterpiece...
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Had I seen Margaret in 2011 it would have likely been number two or three on my list of the best films of the year.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Messy but masterful; a sprawling portrait of what it means to be a bright young woman who's realizing that the world isn't the warm bath of acceptance that her privileged life would indicate.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Margaret comes apart at the seams as you watch it, but it gives off a lovely light. Seek it out. You can thank me later.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
For all its awkwardness and uncertainty, the film is a city symphony, romantic yet scathing, lyrical with street life and vaulting skylines, reckless with first adventure...
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Margaret definitely has many elements for a successful drama. It's unfortunate that no one was able to shape them into a functional movie.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Margaret is a mess. An impressive mess, but a mess nonetheless.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
An ambitious, novelistic, sprawling story that attempts to show a young woman's internal development while simultaneously conveying the soul of modern-day New York.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
It took six years to make this movie. Do yourself a favor: don't wait six years to see it.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
How do you assess a movie when you know it's been edited down against the filmmaker's stern will? That's the dilemma created by Margaret.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Its hard look at a young, morally confused woman struggling for clarity is nothing short of riveting.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Lonergan, who casts himself as Lisa's lukewarm father, a screenwriter, possesses a rare talent for elevating an embarrassing sequence into sadness or tragedy.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
What an interesting failure "Margaret" is.
Film.com
William Goss
On occasion, the film captures a welcome cross-section of modern New York life, serving as a freeform antidote to the intersecting-lives tidiness of similar films from the likes of Haggis and Irritu.
Slant Magazine
Kalvin Henely
The film's imperfections work in the sense that they rhyme with the agitation and sense of dislocation the characters feel.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
Despite a wrenching opening that saddles Paquin's character with more guilt than most anyone could bear, much less a less-than-steady-on-her-feet teen, the film lets some great performances and compelling moments drift in a sea of shapelessness.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
I wish I could say it's a resurrected classic but, alas, it's mostly a mess -- a 2-1/2-hour mess no less.
