Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Beecee — 05 Dec 2016

This is a movie about a man with a volatile temper who is haunted by his past (we find out why towards the end of the movie). Since the main character and the teenaged nephew who has the main secondary role are not immediately sympathetic characters, the film needs to keep the filmgoers interested with the plot and the personal growth of the characters.

Unfortunately, Casey Affleck never really experiences any personal growth, and ends the film the same as he started. Matthew Broderick is totally wasted in a cameo role. The scenery is beautiful, but the film is way too slow moving.
