"Margaret" (2011)

  ½ 


In 1999, Paul Thomas Anderson's mesmerizing, confounding, challenging, beautiful, depressing, confounding, polarizing film Magnolia caught the uncertain mood most of the world seemed to be in leading up to the new millennium. That long film might well be called "operatic" both for its grand themes and the way it stops the action every now and then to allow its leading actors a moment to show off their skills, much in the way an aria stops the action of an opera just so we can marvel at talent.

Kenneth Lonergan's Margaret was originally shot six years later, but due to the kind of legal and artistic wrangling that seemingly can only happen in Hollywood, it was finished in 2011. Note that I didn't say "released in 2011," because Margaret was largely never released. For years, Lonergan had been trying to get his film to 150 minutes to satisfy his contractual obligations, finally settled on a 160-minute version, but when he did the studio largely abandoned it, and never giving the film a mainstream theatrical release. Meanwhile, Lonergan continued working on Margaret, and ultimately created a 186-minute "extended director's edition." While available on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming, this version has rarely been seen in theaters.

As part of its annual "Bleak Week" series, the American Cinematheque screened the 186-minute cut of Margaret at the Egyptian theater to a sold-out house. Having at last seen it, the rationale behind the studio's decision not to release Margaret is more discouraging than ever: They denied moviegoers an opportunity to experience an exquisite film, a movie that stands alongside Magnolia as an emotional epic that explores the convoluted inner workings of people just as the world was shifting.

Margaret hits even harder than Magnolia — not an easy task — because it was shot and originally intended to be released just five years after terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center. They did more than destroy buildings; they destroyed a nation's psyche, they made Americans, and New Yorkers in particular, painfully aware of the fragility of life and the ways it's impossible ever to really know what is going to happen next. The next 30 minutes could hold anything, a reality Margaret knows all too well.

Lonergan's script for Margaret contains no characters named "Margaret." The film is named after the poem "Spring and Fall," by Gerard Manley Hopkins, which begins:

Margaret are you grieving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?

The poem is written as an adult asking a troubled child if the simple act of leaves falling in autumn has left her forlorn, and sad about the state of the world.

Lisa Cohen is this film's Margaret. She is played by Anna Paquin in a performance that should have been nominated for every possible award. Paquin is revelatory as a girl who we meet when she is confident and teasing, flirtatious and intelligent, happy and eager and bright. By the end of the movie, she will still be some of those things, but she will not be many of them. In the sort of incident that could happen anywhere at any time, Margaret is involved (just how, it's best not to know) in a bus accident that kills a woman named Monica. She is played by Allison Janney, who has only one scene in the movie — but it's a scene that must stay with us for the entire duration of this long, complicated film. It does. You've seen heartbreaking moments in movies, but if you haven't seen Margaret, you've never seen the definitive one.

The accident is a devastating, life-changing moment for Lisa, but not always in the most obvious ways. As the film progresses, Lisa has a fraught relationships with her actress mother (J. Smith-Cameron), a math teacher (Matt Damon), a boy who likes her (John Gallagher Jr.), a boy who doesn't really care about her (Kieran Culkin), and a woman (Jeannie Berlin) who was close friends with Monica.

Relaying the rest of the story would be pointless—there is too much of it. One of the many wonderful imperfections of Margaret is how much story it wants to pack into its running time. The extended director's cut runs more than three hours but plays like a movie half that length. Paquin is at the center of it all, carrying the film with such effortless confidence that we sometimes forget we're watching a piece of fiction; Lonergan, who loves working in a naturalistic style, has created a film that's often packed to the edges. It demands and earns our attention, even in some very strange and problematic moments when Lonergan decides to play a piece of music too loudly or adds in voices that seem to be coming from another scene.

These directorial flourishes make Margaret distinctive, but what makes it special and unlike any American movie I can remember seeing is the way the audience never knows from one scene to the next how a character might respond. Scenes change on a dime in this film, and what begins as a happy and carefree moment might end a few minutes later with lacerating anger. In that, Lonergan understands the way most people actually communicate with each other—poorly, haltingly, unpredictably. Watching Margaret is a stark reminder of how little we can ever know anyone else, their motives, or their fears.

This is a glowing film. It knows how terribly we have been hurt — not just by September 11, not just by technology and communication (it was filmed before smart phones but released after they became ubiquitous, which makes for an interesting commentary), not just by each other. Rather, we've been hurt by existence. Like Margaret in the poem, we have seen the world dying; confidence that it will return again does us no good. We are grieving for what we have lost, right now.

In its final moments, as if it hadn't already been clear through its frequent use of classical music, Margaret shows us what it means to be: an opera, maybe a tragedy, maybe a comedy, maybe a little bit of both — I was surprised by how funny the film is, despite being shown at "Bleak Week." In any event, it is bigger than life. It takes a seemingly everyday kind of tragedy and infuses it with wild, raw emotion. Watching Margaret, you'll careen from laughter to shock, from outrage to tearful emotion, sometimes within moments. Lonergan does not shy away from the hard stuff here, but Margaret is never angry or depressing.

By the end of this fascinating and emotionally draining (but not bleak) film, it is very much "Margaret" you grieve for — the girl who can never be innocent again, and the world that can never be innocent again. But still both will revive themselves. They will remake themselves. They will grow again. One way or another.

"Challengers"

  

The poster for Challengers wants you to believe that the star of the movie is Zendaya, the mononymous performer who two years ago was named by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world. She sits at the center of Challengers, the absorbing, hyperactive new film by Luca Guadagnino, who made the absorbing, languid Call Me By Your Name in 2017.

"Her Game. Her Rules," one of the posters for Challengers says, making it clear beyond all doubt that this is not in any way a gay movie. And yet, Challengers often feels more boldly gay than even Guadagnino's earlier, dreamily homoerotic movie. Yes, Zendaya's Tashi Duncan sits at the center of a love triangle; yes, she uses her physical appearance to flirt with and ultimately bed two men; and, yes, they are each vying for her attention ... well, ostensibly.

That's when Challengers gets really interesting, not exclusively from a gay point of view, though largely. Here is a film that does not shy from acknowledging the far-reaching sexual interests of its main characters, and that does much, much more than suggest that the two men (Mike Faist, the fair-haired; Josh O'Connor, the dark) who are enamored of Tashi are equally smitten with each other. Maybe more.

The place Challengers starts seems to be simple: Tashi watches these two men in a tennis match. Almost instantly, we're pushed back two weeks, and then another 13 years, to the night these characters all first encountered each other. The screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes volleys back and forth in time like a tennis ball, daring us to keep up with it. (At one critical point, I finally broke down and had to admit I wasn't quite sure when was happening up on screen, though it also no longer seemed to matter.)

Faist's Art Donaldson and O'Connor's Patrick Zweig are best friends. They share everything with each other. They may, the movie implies, have shared even more. But one thing is clear: Each is smitten by the other, and never once does Challengers suggest they shouldn't be. When they meet Tashi, the race to bed her seems more a desire to impress each other.

As they jockey for position, Challengers kept bringing to mind the odd, repressed sexual games that characters in Hitchcock movies played, and it it's worth noting that the only characters we see kiss each other with intensity or get naked around each other are the two men. The story progresses, moving back and forth in time as first Tashi seems on the cusp of stardom, then Patrick and, finally, Art. Each is trying to outdo the other. Life for them is a competition. Winning is everything—but not winning the game, rather winning the approval, favor and love of the other.

Though there are more than a few moments in which Challengers is set in a world of luxury and glamour, neither it nor its characters are interested in material possessions—they want to possess and control each other. Despite its outwardly beautiful imagery (like all Guadagnino films, it's obsessed with sensual depictions of the world), Challengers is infinitely more interesting in exploring the emotional workings of people who know they are always playing a game.

The most fascinating part of the movie turns out to be that we're never quite sure exactly what game is being played. Just when we have it figured out, Challengers offers an ending that hits the ball right back into the place it began, with a deliciously ambiguous final shot that could mean just about anything.

The boldness of the game it's playing is really the point—it is irrelevant who wins, as long as everyone has a great time at the game. Challengers turns out not, despite her presence on the poster, to be about Zendaya and her rules, but about all three of these beautiful, manipulative people and the games they play with each other. Watching them is like watching a modern tennis match: You may get whiplash from turning your neck at the ball's impossible speeds, but you can't take your eye on the damn thing, anyway.

"I Saw the TV Glow"

 ½ 


Maybe this is what a generation gap looks like? When I Saw the TV Glow ended and I left the theater, I heard a group of people next to me raving about their experience. "It was so creepy!" one of them said. Giggling, another confirmed, "That was the most disturbing movie I've ever seen." Everyone marveling about what they had just witnessed was a teenager.

Whatever it was they saw in the movie, I missed it. There is nothing in this film that qualifies as "most disturbing," unless you haven't seen many movies. I'll give them "creepy," but "so creepy"? Not by a long shot. There are, apparently, also lots of coded references to the trans experience in the movie, or so I read once I got home, desperate to understand the significance of what I just watched. Even the most generous film writer acknowledges that these references must be gleaned, that they require a particular "reading" of the film. All right. I'll give it that. I guess I read it wrong.

While I Saw the TV Glow contains some interesting images and an intriguing setup, the movie moves forward at such a sluggish pace that the best way to describe the experience of watching it is being overcome with an unshakeable sense of ennui. Its characters seem to sleepwalk through the world, and even the things they claim are exciting don't seem to excite them much.

The most important of those is an imaginary TV series called "The Pink Opaque," whose name I guess qualifies as one of those coded references. In the mid-1990s, it plays late on Saturday nights on a TV channel called The Young Adult Network, which is too late for Owen (mostly played by Justice Smith) to watch it. An older girl named Maddy (Bridgette Lundy-Paine) invites him over to her house to secretly watch the show in the basement; to get there, he has to lie to his overprotective mother. That's another one of those references to the queer experience. Ultimately, Maddy records the show and hides videotapes for him to find. They both become obsessed with the show, which is a fan-driven fantasy series—a teen "X Files" crossed with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Maddy disappears. Owen is left to wonder what happened, and to try to piece his life together after their shared obsession ends. Then, as suddenly as she vanished, Maddy returns, and tells Owen the story of what happened, and how her fandom has crossed all bounds of normalcy.

Mixed in to I Saw the TV Glow are clips from "The Pink Opaque," and seemingly real-life appearances by some of its strange monsters. The idea, I guess, is that Owen and Maddy have taken their love of the show to extreme levels. They can't distinguish what's on screen from reality. They descend further and further into a shared madness.

There's nothing wrong with the idea of I Saw the TV Glow, or even with its near-catatonic state. Writer-director Jane Schoenbrun has a real talent for creating a mood; whether that mood is one that makes for great storytelling is the question. Yet while I Saw the TV Glow creates a distinctive look, it's a pastiche. There's a lot of Donnie Darko, bits of Heavenly Creatures, touches of Poltergeist and even big swaths of Being There. Many of the ideas and a couple of key moments of body horror are deeply influenced by David Cronenberg, whose Videodrome preceded this film by 40 years. To those of us who aren't teenagers, it all feels like things we've seen done before, and better.

The curious inertness of I Saw the TV Glow extends to its characters. They are all able to talk about their feelings of alienation and otherness, but not define them. They lack any insight, or even curiosity about the world around them. It's not even TV that matters to them—it's that one TV show. Why? How? To what end? The movie doesn't much care. Just when it should be trying to explain its feelings, it heaves a sigh, rolls its eyes and says, "You'll never get me." Maybe that's true.

Coincidentally, I saw I Saw the TV Glow on May 4, which has become the manufactured "holiday" of "Star Wars Day," a day on which obsessive fans celebrate their obsession. Scrolling through social media, I read about grown-ups who are still angry with George Lucas for "changing" the film they loved, as if it has no right; I saw polls asking people what Star Wars characters they'd most like to invite to dinner; I read posts in which people contemplated minor plot points from these films with more zeal than they discuss the election or the geopolitical condition of the world or the climate crisis. Obsessions run deep. They're real. People construct their entire lives around fictional creations.

There is something fascinating about that. There's something that could make a captivating, entertaining and thought-provoking film. Unfortunately, queer-coded or not, I Saw the TV Glow isn't it.

"Civil War"

   


Journalists and war have been an incendiary coupling in movies almost as long as there have been movies, and with good reason: A journalist's obligation to objectivity can't help but clash with the realities of war. Even the most dispassionate reporter or photographer falls victim to compassion and humanity.

Alex Garland's Civil War proposes, in theory, at least, to explore this effective topic from a totally new perspective. The movie supposes that a civil war has engulfed the United States, and follows journalists assigned to cover it. There's almost no way such an incendiary idea could go wrong. Almost. At every opportunity, though, this movie, which Garland wrote and directed, gets it all disastrously wrong. The movie takes no stance—either on the war it depicts or, more awfully, on the role journalists play in bringing that war to the world.

What do the reporters in Civil War even do? About two-thirds of way through, we learn that at least one of them, possibly two, work for Reuters. The name is given not because of Reuters' role as a global news organization, but because it sounds foreign. Until then, all we've known is that another of the journalists works for The New York Times, though he never seems to file a story or report on anything, while another is ... well, not even a journalist.

Jesse (Cailee Spaeny) a fresh-faced, innocent 23-year-old who idolizes Lee (Kirsten Dunst), a gruff, hard-nosed war photographer who has seen atrocities around the world but has never seen anything like this. Or maybe she has. We never really learn her position on the war, nor that of Joel (Wagner Moura), ostensibly the reporter of the bunch, nor of Sam (the ever-reliable Stephen McKinley Harrison), that New York Times reporter. Lee and Joel are on their way from New York City to the front lines of Washington, D.C., where they want to interview the president. He's a third-term hardliner, though of what variety we're never told. At the beginning of Civil War, he's professing a near-victory against the "Western Forces," a coalition of Texas and California. Florida is allied with the Western Forces.

That's what kind of movie Civil War is. It seems almost proudly oblivious of the politics of the moment (if a "moment" can last close to a decade), and in interviews Garland has said he wanted to make a movie about journalists and war, not about the causes of war. It's a near-fatal decision for his film. Imagine Casablanca without a sense of loyalties; imagine Inglourious Basterds without taking sides; imagine The Killing Fields in which there is no Khmer Rouge, just a lot of fighting.

It's not as if Garland doesn't tip his hat more than once to what might be going on. The clearest villains in Civil War all talk with drawls, look like central casting was asked for "hillbillies," and spit a lot. One of them, in a much-talked-about cameo by Jesse Plemons, has a real problem with minorities. But the movie still refuses to tell us anything. The journalists are conflicted, because they see too many people gunned down, sometimes without reason. What they see is hard to stomach.

But there's no effort to help us understand it. Are we to be surprised that war is hell? That an America engulfed in a true civil war would be a horrifying sight?

The movie leads up to a CG-laden battle replete with all the macho bravado of a modern video game. Logically, nothing about the climax makes sense, particularly the fact that, other than a couple of embedded journalists, there seem to be no other reporters around. In the world of Civil War, there are only about four journalists left, they never file stories or send photos (well, once), and the impact of their work is unknown. It's not the only thing about Civil War that's unknown. Including why anyone would want to make a movie like this and then take out everything that might make it interesting.

"Hundreds of Beavers"

   


It's a depressing, distressing time for the movie industry, and it's easy to lose heart. But if we can't turn to Hollywood studios and ubiquitous streamers for the answer, maybe few intrepid filmmakers in the frozen wilderness of Wisconsin hold the answer to how to bring back some of the magic of the movies.

Hundreds of Beavers does not follow the model of a Hollywood blockbuster. If there are three acts, I'm not sure what they are; if the main character has a deep and yearning need it's only to figure out what the hell is happening to him; and there's not much in the way of dialogue. It's mostly a silent movie, shot in grainy black and white, and looks like it was stitched together on someone's MacBook. Those are attributes. They're features, not bugs of this silly and subversive slapstick comedy.

Hundreds of Beavers seems inspired as much by the great silent comedies as by a video game, as it drops viewers into a surreal setting in which there appears to be nothing much like rules, plot or even a point. Give it time. It will all make sense. Or, more to the point, it will all make absolutely no sense, but there's an incredibly good chance you will find that sense is the last thing Hundreds of Beavers needs.

An actor with the unlikely name Ryland Erickson Cole Tews plays a man named Jean Kayak, who begins as a drunkard obsessed with applejack who, in a turn of events that cannot and should not be explained, ends up alone and freezing in a snowy wilderness. He needs to survive. The forest creatures around him, especially the beavers and the wolves, have other plans for him.

None of this is intended to bear any resemblance to reality, especially those creatures, who are played by performers in human-sized mascot suits. As he tries to find a tasty critter or two to eat, Jean Kayak stumbles upon a master trapper who looks like Santa with a sleigh pulled by human-sized, poker-playing dogs, and learns about a fur trader with a winsome daughter.

Hundreds of Beavers is pure slapstick. The applejack drunkard becomes a fur trapper, intent on waging war with the denizens of the snow-covered forest, who aren't as dumb (or as sweet and cute) as they appear. Jean Kayak becomes Wile E. Coyote chasing after untold numbers of Road Runners. And those beavers ... well, they have something even grander in mind.

Judging by the audience I saw it with, Hundreds of Beavers will bemuse you with its entirely unpredictable antics, or possibly drive you absolutely mad with laughter. Some people in the audience seemed ready to laugh to death like those weasels in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Even those who seemed unsure what to make of it couldn't help be drawn in to its weird, wild, wonderful world in which reality dares not intrude. It's as completely imagined as the most advanced CGI landscape, with none of the polished perfection. And in that, it succeeds even better than any big-screen blockbuster.

By the time Jean Kayak finds himself being chased by those literal hundreds of beavers (study the movie's poster if you want some wacky clues to what's in store), this movie, made at a reported cost of $150,000, will have convinced you that the future of movies can be a happy, inventive, and daring one. Isn't it wild what beavers can teach us?

"The First Omen"

    


There is only one way for a prequel to end, and The First Omen manages to end at almost exactly the moment that 1976's original The Omen (which now can no longer be called "the first Omen," I guess): A baby is born and given to the U.S. ambassador to Rome—which in the world in which the Omen franchise, as it's come to be called, takes place is apparently a heartbeat away from the presidency.

I won't ask you to name the last ambassador to any country (or city) has been in such a powerful position, but apparently the people who helped bring that antichrist to life believe that this will be the best place for the child to grow into Sam Neill and try to take over the world.

Who were those people? What was their plan? And how did they wrangle the devil into impregnating someone and then kill that woman in order to plant the child with Ambassador Thorn and ensure he would be named Damien?

Assuming you have been wondering about those questions for the last 48 years, then, good news! The First Omen wants to answer those burning questions that have been keeping you up at night after watching movies like The Omen II, Omen III: The Final Conflict, Omen IV: The Awakening and, of course, the 2006 remake of The Omen, in which Julia Stiles and Liev Schreiber were the unwitting parents of the devil in the 21st century. But this movie pretends that movie didn't happen, and The First Omen instead goes all the way back to 1971, five years before the first Omen.

All of this matters, because ... well, it doesn't. Nor, in the end, does The First Omen. This is not a movie likely to ignite a new round of Satanic Panic that will end with hundreds of hysterical accusations that ruined the lives of children and adults alike. The first Omen was a pretty ridiculous movie, but between it and The Exorcist managed to influence an entire nation. Pity the adult who was named Damien in the years before its release.

Nonetheless, The First Omen begins in 1971 in Rome when Margaret, a plucky young American woman (played by British actress Nell Tiger Free), journeys to an orphanage that is as dimly lit, shadowy and crumbling as you can hope a Roman orphanage to be. There are sinister goings on. Of course there are. The nuns are creepy. Of course they are. The nuns explain why these religious horror movies never involve Protestants, I guess. One of the nuns is Sônia Braga, oddly enough.

Margaret begins to suspect that there's something fishy happening in those musty hallways. Then, a gravelly voiced, excommunicated priest (Ralph Ineson) who made an appearance in the grotesque prologue, shows up and tells Margaret to meet him late at night in another shadowy room, and tells her of an ambitious, complicated plan to bring about the birth of the antichrist, which of course we know is going to happen because we've seen cherub-faced Damien drive all those zoo animals crazy.

So, The First Omen turns into more of a conspiracy thriller than a horror film, until its final act, in which all sorts of grotesque things happen and there's a sudden plot switch-up that you will not see coming unless, like me, you saw it coming.

There's one scene in which Free shows herself to be an actress of remarkable ability. The scene can't be described without giving away that long-ago-telegraphed plot twist, but suffice it to say: This may be a bad movie, but she does something extraordinary on camera in one long take that for a moment lifts the film above the ordinary.

Then it sinks back down. And down. And down into a ludicrous finale and an even more ludicrous final scene that tries to both connect the film to The Omen from 1976 and set things up for an unrelated sequel. Let's hope it doesn't come. But if it must, let's hope Free is available for it. She at least makes things interesting.

"Late Night With the Devil"

    


After a much longer moviegoing break than I anticipated due to unexpected crises, I returned to the place whose specialness has been made banal by Nicole Kidman's endless insistence that it's magic: the cinema. Yup, Nicole's still there, albeit in a mercifully shorter, still hilariously self-serving sort of way. And the movie I saw wasn't especially good, though it wasn't particularly bad, either, but that's the point: Late Night With the Devil, a low-budget Australian horror film, is exactly the kind of movie that benefits from being seen in a movie theater.

Is it worth the ever-increasing cost of a night out at the movies? Maybe not. Then again, I'm still a member in what is one of the worst-conceived ideas in movie history: a moviegoing subscription service. These services, like the scam MoviePass that triggered the craze to charge moviegoers one price each month and give them (at one point) unlimited movies, have only cheapened the experience. To members of these programs, movies have become, essentially, worthless. Between these programs and streaming services, the concept of moviegoing has, for too many people, become something without value. It is a cheap, throwaway experience that can, if played right, cost as little as a couple of bucks for a show.

It's natural, I suppose, that "content producers," those behemoths that used to be called movie studios, have responded by releasing comparatively few movies on the big screen, and doing all they can to ensure those movies are big, loud, dumb and popular.

So, how does a movie like Late Night With the Devil even make it into theaters? In this case, perhaps chalk it up to last year's crisis-level strikes by actors and writers, which have left those places formerly called studios with far too little "content" to release to both theaters and streaming services; and to the time of year. Springtime has always been horror time, and horror excels at low budgets with few stars.

David Dastmalchian, an actor you've undoubtedly seen but wouldn't know by name, is the star of Late Night With the Devil. The movie is a riff on the "found-footage" horror trope that's been going on since The Blair Witch Project (which, I hate to break it to you, was 25 years ago now). In this case, the movie purports to be a combination of video that aired on TV in 1977, and never-before-seen backstage footage of the event that, so the movie proposes, galvanized audiences. The incident was an exorcism that aired on a syndicated late-night TV talk show.

The most interesting thing to me about Late Night With the Devil is how it was made by a streaming service (Shudder) to be shown on television, but is a movie I would have absolutely no patience for at home. It's slow to start, relies on insider knowledge about the TV industry, and assumes a desire to see a gentle satire of television as it existed nearly 50 years ago. By the time the movie gets to its core story, I would have long lost interest and found something else to watch. That's the thing about "television" today: There is always something else to watch. Too much.

But in a movie theater, in that space Nicole Kidman insists is "magic," you've got only a few choices: pay attention, fall asleep (or maybe turn your attention to your date, if so inclined), or leave. (Sadly, there's an increasingly popular fourth option: play on your phone. I don't condone that.) Usually, stuck in a dark room and knowing we've paid money—at least, we used to—and made the effort to be there, we opt for the first choice. That's what I did with Late Night With the Devil. I would never, ever have done that at home.

It's okay. It's not great, but it doesn't need to be. It's an attention-grabber, it's weird, it's funny, and it's enough. It kept me entertained, I got a night out with my husband, we felt we were taking part in life, and we had something to talk about on the way home. There was a time, a very good and very long time, we didn't expect or demand much more of our movies than that. Late Night With the Devil reminded me of those times. I miss those times. I hope Hollywood gets its act together soon and remembers the movies, even so-so ones, belong in movie theaters. Late Night With the Devil wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but all in all, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
