Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Simon T — 06 Oct 2017
A missed opportunity mainly because screenwriter Lonergan indulges director Lonergan. A wilfully overcomplicated flashback structure and a mumbly central performance by Casey Affleck mean that a basically straightforward examination of grief and guilt becomes tricksy and irritating.
