Review of Manchester by the Sea (2016) by Night4 — 16 May 2017

I'm glad I didn't listen to the Amazon reviews, because this is a freaking great movie. Casey Affleck is simply amazing. It's one of the best performances I've seen in... ever, I think. It's not easy to play such an introverted character well. For those that think he doesn't change as a person during the course of the movie, you should watch it again.

Some of the scenes where he acts out felt slightly forced, but I understand they needed to add at least a small amount of "action." Also, the use of Matthew Broderick was rather distracting. For such a small role, it should have been an unrecognizable actor.
