You Can Count on Me
(2000)
So, Kenneth Lonergan, writer/director of one of the smartest, funniest, most moving indies of the turn of the millennium, with breakthrough roles for My Future Wife Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo (not to mention the introduction of another Culkin), what have you done for us lately? I actually asked the question not realizing that the answer is bupkus: nothing directed (or acted in: he plays the priest) since this, only 3 writing credits (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Analyze That, and Gangs of New York), and none since 2002.Until now: he has written and directed something called Margaret, scheduled for release this year (no more specific date). Per IMDb:
A young woman (Anna Paquin) witnesses a bus accident, and is caught up in the aftermath, where the question of whether or not it was intentional affects many people's lives.The excellent cast includes Count veterans Ruffalo and Matthew Broderick, as well as MATT DAMON, Jean Reno, Allison Janney, Rosemarie DeWitt, and yet another Culkin.
