Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Todd Mccarthy for The Hollywood Reporter — 24 Jan 2016
Lonergan layers and then layers some more, allows his characters to stew, not always disclose themselves and then come to decisions and changes naturally, or after due deliberation. And they can relapse and not always be ready for the breakthrough moment toward which the story seems to be pointing.
The result is something that feels more akin to a full meal than the usual cinematic popcorn.
