Writer/director Kenneth Lonergan's MANCHESTER BY THE SEA made me leave the theater feeling empty... it could easily be filed away as just another white male angst narrative.

Affleck is magnificent, but the movie is something less than that, because it can't completely overcome some built-in challenges. Even so, Manchester by the Sea deserves honors for being so different, and for working on the mind in a particular way

Its initial enigma seems to need no explanation; yet, once deciphered, the film does not falter but moves only deeper into the emotional territory it charts.

Unforced acting couples with a nuanced, insightful script to tell a story that, although seemingly simple, is achingly complex.

It's painful and tragic, yet it's cut with elements of humor and laughter. Just like life.

Some emotional wounds can't be healed. Manchester by the Sea... takes on that proposition in family drama, or rather a drama about what we do for family even when there are things we can't do for ourselves.

A superb family melodrama built in two times and centered on the complex figure of Lee Chandler. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie is pulsating with urgency and feeling, not deadened by the suggestive framework of its premise. I could not take my eyes off any of these people.

A gut-punching, heartbreaking movie, with Affleck's Lee in the epicentre ... a perfect role for the under-appreciated actor.

The sadness of "Manchester by the Sea" is the kind of sadness that makes you feel more alive, rather than less, to the preciousness of things.

It's Affleck's movie to quietly own as layer upon layer of Irish impassivity is stripped away from his visage until the unspeakable can be spoken.
