Anna Paquin in Margaret, 2005

An NYC teenager who thinks she already grew up gets destroyed by one line: "We are not supporting characters in the fascinating story of your life."

Anna Paquin with her smudged eyeliner, greasy hair, arrogant intellect, bad grades, actress mother — is so uncomfortably familiar it feels less like watching a movie and more like being perceived.

You can watch it for New York: the audio overlay of neighboring conversations, the cinematic shots of streets, buildings, crowds - all of it a long love letter signed b-roll to the city post-9/11 as millennials started to feel like their life was an opera, and the world was supporting characters.
