Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Douglas56 — 25 Feb 2017
Just an outstanding film about ordinary people, based on a script that shines with authenticity, humour and sadness. The acting is fine too, with Michelle Williams perhaps the stand-out in a strong cast.
It's the sort of story that stays with you for days after and, for all the heartache it reveals in our lives, still manages to make you feel good about life. Lonergan has a great eye for places and great ear for conversation.
Some might find it trifle long but it's hard to see what you could cut.
