Manchester by the Sea (Amazon Prime) is a 2016 drama film written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan and starring Casey Affleck. It's about a depressed and grief-stricken man who becomes the legal guardian of his teenage nephew after the death of his brother. This is one of those quiet, character-driven movies that stays with you. Critically acclaimed and well reviewed, this one is well worth your time. Highly recommended.

...sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI did like this a lot.
DeleteI watched this several years back, maybe shortly after it was out of theaters. Sadly, I don't remember too much about it now, but I do remember liking it. And I will say, I don't really remember movies unless they're a favorite. Books on the other hand I seem to remember better. Have a great Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised at the number of movies I've seen but forgotten I've seen.
DeleteThis is a good one and takes place in a small town on the Massachusetts coast
ReplyDeleteThe area looks beautiful. So different from here in Memphis.
DeleteThis was a wonderful movie! These are my favorite kind of movies...character-driven! Casey Affleck has been in some really good ones. :)
ReplyDeleteI've run across several movies lately that focused on character-building and development. I'm enjoying them.
DeleteI remember when that came out and didn't see it.I'm glad it's on youtube.
ReplyDeleteIt's on Amazon Prime. The YouTube video is just a trailer.
