Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Jerry H — 02 Feb 2017

This is an exercise in turgidity, surpassed only by Warchol's filming of himself asleep. At least he turned over in that to relieve the tedium. The occasional change of expression from Casey Affleck would have been nice but no.

I had a sheep's lung for dinner before going. If I was offered the choice of having that or seeing the film again, I'd go for the lung. I know what you're thinking: something exciting must have happened during the film surely? Well it did: the sheep's lung repeated on me halfway through.

To be fair, the acting was good other than Affleck who just mumbled monosyllabically all through like a bloke who'd just discovered his fee had one less nought on the end than he was expecting. Oh well, not to worry.

I could have been made to see La La Land.
