Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Lunanul — 03 Apr 2017

Plenty of good in this movie, but many major flaws, including an overwrought soundtrack of low-register string music (also present in 'You can count on me'), and a forced sense of 'realness' that works in the early stages, but eventually turns grating and farcical.

If you can endure to the end, great scenes emerge throughout, but heavily dampened by gratuitous gloom.
