Manchester by the Sea (2016)

Written by Andres Gomez on May 8, 2017

Great characters movie. There is little to say about this movie that has not been told yet.

The story is simple but interesting and well told. The photography and the location of Manchester-by-the-sea is a very well chosen and the directing is very good.

And on top of everything else is its cast. A very well chosen cast that performs at a fantastic level with Casey Affleck delivering one of the most breathtaking performances of the last years. You can feel his pain with every attitude and gesture.

The encounter in the street with Michelle Williams is just astonishingly well done while the one at his brother's room after having picked up his things from Boston is a summit on the movie.

A very good movie and a very well deserved Oscar.
