Ever had a lump stuck in your throat for 2 hours?
Ever held in a scream you wanted to scream but couldn't because you were afraid you couldn't stop?
Ever seen an actor not acting, not performing, just being?
Ever seen a director do his utmost to tear out your soul, stomp on it only to rebuild it in the most bitter sweet way imaginable?
Ever lost someone, wanting them back so badly, living becomes a chore?
Ever grieved?
Ever felt so much love and responsibility it becomes unbearable?
Manchester by the Sea shows us a life, a real life, in all its ugly beauty. It uses the power only the most exemplary pieces of art possess, the power to…

After Manchester by the Sea, Kenneth Lonergan's third feature film, the world stopped spinning. Of course, such an inherently hyperbolic statement comes from a place of personal connection, the typical gushing praise of having just encountered an "experience", but truly, its root is in the world which was painted before me. It seemed no different initially: seagulls swooping through the harsh winter winds, snow cascading onto the salted pavement, operatic groups of tenors and baritones providing an extraordinary backdrop for the ordinary. Such an environment exists, and it is still, uneventful, misshapen in its fractured neighborhoods and streets. It is also familiar. Familiar to people who wander a snowy path in search of late-night groceries. Familiar to people who…
We all grieve, yet we grieve in many different ways. A death can make a family stronger, or destroy it. Some people never get over a loss. Others, find a positive out of a negative, and use their experience to educate and help others. I'm envious of those who've never experienced a significant loss. That's probably why it's not the end of the world for me when a celebrity dies. It's okay if you get upset when a famous person passes. I've been upset by celeb death, but it's nothing like losing someone you love more than anything. That's why I loathe the month of March. This March, it's the 10 year anniversary and the 4 year anniversary of the…
in this movie lucas hedges is dating the girl who stabbed him in the back with lefty scissors in moonrise kingdom
As a lifelong fuckup who's pretty sure he's earned any given misery and deserves nothing good, ever, yeah this did a bit of a number on me.
A realist depiction of the brutality of life. Controversy aside, a brilliant movie with brilliant performances.
Gloomy and introspective. It has real life feel to it -- that you can also be in that situation.
Beautifully filmed and scored - heartfelt and tragic but on balance despressing rather than uplifting. Wouldn't watch again.
Casey Affleck entrega aqui, a melhor performance masculina de 2016, e olha que no mesmo ano temos Denzel Washington em Fences. O personagem é sem vida, robusto, e amargurado. Porém a performance não, ela passa sentimentos, é um ótimo trabalho de atuação, e o Oscar foi mais que merecido. É um filme devagar, ele não se importa em colocar o espectador nos momentos tristes com frequência, porém, quando coloca, ele coloca de uma maneira bruta, não é suave.
O filme é triste, há uma cena em que a Michelle Williams dá um monólogo que parte o coração de qualquer um, ela está perfeita no papel. A trilha sonora cacofonica e a cinematografia azulada cria um ótimo tom de tristeza para o filme.

This film is a long and painful exploration of grief and the examination of how a person can withdraw from life but requires total concentration as it flashes back and forth enabling us gradually to understand the motivations of the protagonist.
We've seen Ben's little brother grow up on screen both literally as a teenager to now a middle aged man and in maturity emerging from the shadow of his brother' superstardom to his well deserved Oscar for his role in this film.
We've seen hints of his abilities before, notably in Ben's Gone Baby Gone but nothing quite prepared us for Casey Affleck's breakout and understated performance here.
He's helped by the…
