Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Fmm — 17 Jan 2017
Affleck has done the impossible - dramatized an interior pain in a consistently affecting manner. Women usually get the roles for articulating unbridled expression regarding loss, divorce, etc. That's not the way this man suffers.
Affleck deserves every accolade. The film is not for those who need a car chase, but it's a a human story, wonderfully written and rendered. Michele Williams didn't have as much to do, as she was less 'written.
' Affleck's nephew in the film is utterly superb as well.
