Margaret's Museum is a powerful movie which takes place in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. It is a movie made from a short story written by Sheldon Currie.
Helena Bonham Carter and Kate Nelligan are sheer excellence in every which way. Also, Clive Russell, and all the other actors are brilliant and their roles are believable, and sometimes shocking. I forgot while watching this movie that it indeed is a movie .. it seem so very real.
The beginning of the movie will grab your attention completely; the middle explains almost everything; and the ending will shock you. Completely.
It was about time I finally watched a movie I had no idea in my wildest imagination what the ending would be like.
I love this movie and will watch it many, many times. I also think the photography, the music scores (Rankin Family), etc., are also excellent.
Do I rate this movie a 10? You bet!
