Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Jess_Hill — 13 Feb 2017
An astonishing ode to grief, this is a film which is worthy of the universal acclaim it has received. Affleck is exceptional, but it is the phenomenal script which enable the entire cast to excel. The soundtrack and cinematography provide a well crafted backdrop to the storyline which plays out carefully, with the superb editing allowing the pieces of the narrative to unfurl elegantly, heightening the audiences understanding of these characters.
Whilst the third act drags a little, overall this is an accomplished film worth anyone's time. 8.
