==Career==
=== 1982–1999: Early theatre work ===
Lonergan's first theatrical success came with the play ''[[This Is Our Youth]]'' (1996) which opened off-Broadway Intar Theatre by [[The New Group]]. The play revolved around three young adults navigating friendship, identity, and disillusionment in 1980s [[New York City]]. The cast included [[Mark Ruffalo]], [[Josh Hamilton (actor)|Josh Hamilton]], and Missy Yager and was directed by [[Mark Brokaw]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.broadwayworld.com/shows/This-is-Our-Youth-325180/cast|title= This is Our Youth Off-Broadway Original Cast|website= BroadwayWorld|accessdate= September 17, 2024}}</ref> Greg Evans of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' wrote, "What we have is two hours of conversation among the three characters, and as finely written as the dialogue is" adding, "Lonergan’s ear is unfailing".<ref>{{cite web|url= https://variety.com/1996/legit/reviews/this-is-our-youth-1200447794/|title= This is Our Youth|website= Variety|date= November 5, 1996|accessdate= September 17, 2024}}</ref>

The original cast included [[Eileen Heckart]], [[Josh Hamilton (actor)|Josh Hamilton]], [[Maureen Anderman]], and [[Mark Blum]]. It opened Off-Broadway at the Promenade Theater in March 2000 directed by [[Scott Ellis]]. Charles Isherwood of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' declared, "Anyone who has lived through this sad process with a relative will be awed by the verisimilitude of both Heckart's acting and Lonergan's writing."<ref>{{cite web|url= https://variety.com/2000/legit/reviews/the-waverly-gallery-2-1200460998/|title= The Waverly Gallery|website= Variety|date= March 23, 2000|accessdate= September 17, 2024}}</ref> For his work he was named as a finalist for the [[Pulitzer Prize for Drama]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/kenneth-lonergan|title= The Waverly Gallery|website= Pulitzer|accessdate= September 17, 2024}}</ref>

Lonergan's film career began with his screenplay for the crime comedy ''[[Analyze This]]'' (1999) starring [[Robert De Niro]] and [[Billy Crystal]] as a gangster and his therapist, respectively. Lonergan directed his own screenplay for ''[[You Can Count on Me]]'' (2000) which was executive produced by [[Martin Scorsese]].

The following year Lonergan contributed to the screenplay for [[Martin Scorsese]]'s historical epic ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' (2002) for which he earned his second nomination for the [[Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay]]. In 2005, filming took place for his second film as writer/director, ''[[Margaret (2011 film)|Margaret]]'', starring [[Anna Paquin]], [[Matt Damon]], Matthew Broderick, and J. Smith-Cameron. The film spent over five years in post-production, with Lonergan, the producers and various editors unable to agree on its final cut, resulting in multiple legal disputes. It was finally released in 2011.<ref name=NY/> ''Margaret'' ranked 31st in a 2016 BBC poll of the 21st century's greatest films.<ref>{{cite web|title=The 21st Century's 100 greatest films|url=http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20160819-the-21st-centurys-100-greatest-films|date=August 23, 2016|work=BBC|access-date=December 10, 2016}}</ref> His play ''The Starry Messenger'' premiered [[Off-Broadway]] in 2009 and starred his wife [[J.

In August 2014, ''[[This Is Our Youth]]'' was revived on Broadway starring [[Michael Cera]], [[Kieran Culkin]], and [[Tavi Gevinson]] at the [[James Earl Jones Theatre|Cort Theatre]]. The play would be the first of Lonergan's work to make it to Broadway. He received a nomination for the [[Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play]]. Alexis Soloski of ''[[The Guardian]]'' wrote, "Though still hewing to drama school rules – small cast, single set, neat inciting incident – it has a mature, post-grad voice, sensitive and humane and jammed full of totally splendid crackerjack-with-a-toy-surprise dialogue".<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/sep/12/this-is-our-youth-anthem-stewed-youth-review|title= This is Our Youth review|website= The Guardian|date= September 12, 2014|accessdate= September 17, 2024|last1= Soloski|first1= Alexis}}</ref>

David Fear of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' said the film proves that Lonergan is "practically peerless in portraying loss as a living, breathing thing without resorting to the vocabulary of griefporn."<ref name=fear>{{Cite news|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/manchester-by-the-sea-the-story-behind-sundance-2016s-best-movie-20160201|title=How 'Manchester by the Sea' Became a Sundance 2016 Hit|last=Fear|first=David|date=February 1, 2016|newspaper=Rolling Stone|access-date=November 12, 2016}}</ref> He was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Director]] and received the [[Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay]] for the film.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://abc.com/news/474641c6-6fe4-4240-be07-22a172694418/category/3590739|title= Oscar Nominations 2017: View the Complete List of Nominees|website= ABC News|accessdate= September 17, 2024}}</ref> He also won the [[BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay]] for ''Manchester by the Sea'' at the [[70th British Academy Film Awards]].

She’s so good here that there are moments you’ll swear she isn’t acting. Did she really forget that line?
