Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by D J — 11 Jun 2017
I was on the fence about seeing this one in the theaters, and finally caught it on NetFlix. Disappointing film, and I don't see the reason for all the critical love. The movie goes nowhere, answers no questions, and despite the acting reviews, felt shallow as if it were written for the critics and not from real-life.
The move is by no means terrible, but I found myself sitting through the entire thing waiting for something to happen to make the movie worthwhile and not just two hours of an annoying main character who can't get his act together and has nothing to say.
Alas I made it to the very end only to be disappointed with my main impression that this was a 2-hour waste of time.
