Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Theresa S — 24 Feb 2017

Painfully dull. I just can't understand the hype of this film. No interesting characters, boring dialogue. It just dragged on and on, with nothing really substantial to say. I couldn't stop myself from skipping through bits here and there.

I was almost certain I missed the part where it revealed that the lead had actually received a lobotomy at some point. He had exactly one facial expression throughout the whole film. Would not watch again.

I'm surprised I made it through the first time.
