i am a fan of lonergan's works. remember you can count on me (2000) which is heartwarming without being cliche and idiotic which can be challenging to find. the fact that this movie is mostly carried alone by anna paquin as the fast talking teenager who thinks what she feels matters to the world only to find out that she is well on her way to learn why cynicism is the only armour to survive this world when one is older. not that adults do not care, or young people is more in touch with their feelings, or that sensitivity is lost by age, but this world has this kind of crushing feeling to it if you don't pick your battles carefully. it's survival instinct.
