"Hello I Must Be Going": Eighteen years ago, a pair of teenagers gave two remarkable performances in Peter Jackson's tale of adolescent madness, "Heavenly Creatures." One of those teens, Kate Winslet, quickly became an international star; the other, Melanie Lynskey, found an infrequent niche in memorable who's-that-girl supporting roles (George Clooney's little sister in "Up in the Air"; a troubled young mother in "Win Win"; Matt Damon's wife in "The Informant!") Now she's finally been given a movie to carry, and she saunters off with "Hello I Must Be Going" with a sweet, quiet confidence. As Amy, a depressed young divorcee aimlessly floating through a shadow of a life, Lynskey lets us see, from deep within Amy's fog, an instinctual desire to please, and a sense of innocent wonderment at how she could possibly have gotten into such a mess. You root for the character, and leave the movie hoping she'll be OK.

6 p.m. at Pacific Place; also screening 3 p.m. Saturday at the Harvard Exit. Lynskey and fellow cast member Christopher Abbott (who plays Amy's 19-year-old surprise love interest) are scheduled to attend both screenings.
