VILLAGE VOICE & A.O. SCOTT'S "BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS" PICK -JEANNIE BERLIN -- VILLAGE VOICE "CRITICS POLL & A.O. SCOTT'S" NY TIMES PICK FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS - REX REED “A superb Jeannie Berlin! She gives one of the most complex portrayals of a stereotypically overeducated, analytical, aggressive, literal minded, NY Jew I have ever seen.”–The New York Observer A.O. SCOTT, “There are many exciting performances in Margaret, notable Jeannie Berlin, who plays the dead woman’s sharp-tongued best friend.”–The New York Times “Jeannie Berlin gives an electrifying exact yet freewheeling performance” –The New Yorker “Jeannie Berlin’s scenes crackle with intense, natural dialogue and an undeniable sense that this is a woman you know.”–CinemaBlend.com “Jeannie Berlin is a standout in a strong cast.”–NY Daily News “A brash Upper Westsider superbly played by Jeannie Berlin is a vivid supporting character.”–Time Out New York “A compelling welcome screen return by Jeannie Berlin.”–The Hollywood Reporter “There’s one performer in the cast who stands out. It’s Jeannie Berlin, who isn’t afraid to find moments of drollery in scenes about death. Her every appearance is a reminder that this movie – and movies in general – could use a lot more of her.” –Reuters.com,The Wrap “One performer, however, bursts through the script and the screen to emerge as a singular presence, on her own, respecting but transcending all dramatic considerations: Jeannie Berlin, who, in a supporting role, brings both a sort of Old Testament fury and a modern comic incisiveness to a relatively undefined character, one that could easily have veered into cliché but here distills a whole, teeming, turbulent inner and outer life. It’s the kind of tip-of-the-iceberg performance, both precise and spontaneous, nuanced and furious, that deserves the widest acclaim. MORE, PLEASE: WHERE’S BERLIN’S ONE-WOMAN SHOW, HER TV SERIES, HER STARRING ROLE IN A MOVIE?” –New Yorker.com/online Margaret -- A New York City girl (Anna Paquin) who feels that she played a role in a fatal traffic accident attempts to set things right, though she faces life-changing opposition at every turn. Margaret -- Trailer for Margaret

Personal Quote:

[on playing the jilted bride in'The Heartbreak Kid'] Nobody believes me, but yes, I did have to test for the part, just like anybody else - even though the director was my mother, Elaine May. I've been told I look like Anne Bancroft, Ingrid Bergman, and from some angles, Tiny Tim. See more »

Daughter of Elaine May and Marvin May. See more »
