Margaret centers on a 17-year-old New York City high-school student who
feels certain that she inadvertently played a role in a traffic accident
that has claimed a woman’s life. In her attempts to set things right
she meets with opposition at every step. Torn apart with frustration,
she begins emotionally brutalizing her family, her friends, her
teachers, and most of all, herself. She has been confronted quite
unexpectedly with a basic truth: that her youthful ideals are on a
collision course against the realities and compromises of the adult
world.
This film is filled with interesting characters executed really well by some talented actors. I really enjoyed this personal human drama about life, death and relationships. The focus is on youth. A little uncomfortable at times with very little love lost for the lead character.
