Writer-director Kenneth Lonergan won numerous awards for his debut feature, You Can Count on Me, back in 2000. His follow-up film, Margaret, has been a long-time coming because the studio insisted the film’s running time could not exceed 150 minutes; eventually Martin Scorsese and his Oscar-winning editor, Thelma Schoonmaker, contributed to editing this final version which Lonergan approved.
