worth seeing or bad?

Good film. Worth seeing and paying for.

>>79194109
It's solid drama.

>>79194109
You may or may not like it, but it certainly isn't bad, well executed all around.

Casey Affleck did a performance of the year no doubt.
Zero "I'M ACTING!" scenes.

Nah. Huppert gmv.

Who is this German Sperman

?

i already named her ya dumbo

Scenes with Affleck and Williams are 10/10. Rest of film is 6/10

>>79194109
At least this one isn't full of niggers. It's worth watching on those merits alone.

>>79194109

>that scene with his ex-wfe
>that scene in the police station

I never asked for these tears

>>79194345
>yfw he pulls the gun and it feels so logical and realistic that it doesn't even appear edgy or melodramatic, just pure emotion.

now that's what I call kino.

>>79194345

Holy fuck

Inspecting everyone's shoes, and occasionally mumbling.

>>79194109
Not nearly enough Michelle Williams. I was disappoint.

>>79195152
sometimes less is more, something retards like Leo need to learn

MotY

>>79194328
:c

The scene in the police station was likely the best scene that has been filmed in 5 years.

>>79194311
this. I felt like they spent too much time on the nephew's life, he wasn't that interesting or likeable

Will probably win Best Actor and Screenplay.

can anyone recommend more films like this?

Margaret, by same director.

It's made well despite the laughably over dramatic music that drags on but it's not really anything special in the end and the "story" goes nowhere. A lot of annoying characters make segments annoying to watch and I laughed at how cliche some of the scenes were. Did they purposefully make the female characters more flawed than the males? Is the nephew an allegory for white power introduced by the black producer? Did the band ever get their record deal?

It's a reminder that Affleck is a good actor and Michelle Williams is still nothing but barely mediocre.

>>79194109
it's pretty good actually, Casey Affleck was amazing

Of course if you're a faggot who gets bored easily then don't watch it although the movie is filled with dialogue there's no real ''story'' it's just a guy who's miserable and will always be miserable

>>79195152
Top kek 100% truth still love him doe (no homer)

Really good film exploring grief. Affleck is great. The teenage nephew is an annoying cunt, should've been punched in the face within the first 5 mins.

Everyone else is mediocre.

Police station scene is worth it alone.

>>79194109
It's breathtaking. A truly incredible piece of cinema.

>>79194109
The people that don't like this movie are the same people who think Nolan is an auteur.

>>79194109
REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL PROBLEMS

PLAYED BY UNREALISTICALLY ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN A TOWNIE SHITBURG FOR SOME UNKOWN REASON.

>>79195764
You can count on me
same director too

Soap opera tier shit.
Only the kid was good, Casey Affleck is MASSIVELY OVERRATED as is Michelle Williams. They both put on bipolar and monopolar performances that seem completely cliche especially for the later. There are two good scenes in this film (the police station scene and the freezer scene) and that's it, the rest of the movie wastes time with shit that adds nothing to the story and what's worse is the movie ends with no logical conclusion to the characters. It felt half baked in terms of story despite the sometimes good shots and music.

Worth a pirate or a watch once but I won't watch it again. Moonlight or Hacksaw Ridge deserve best picture over Manchester because at least they told a complete story with good character development.

>>79199225
I bet you enjoy the films of Christopher Nolan

>>79199269
Depends on the film, although I don't see how that changes the fact that Manchester was half baked shit with no actual sincerity outside a few good scenes.

it was good as it showed growth in affleck by the end, by being able to connect with the kid and cater to his lifestyle while still wanting to visit.
but it also showed that grief inst something u just get over. theres no redemption when horrible shit happens.

>>79198830
There are plenty of attractive people who are losers anon.

>>79199297
At least you're willing to admit your opinions are shitty.

>>79199307
>but it also showed that grief inst something u just get over. theres no redemption when horrible shit happens.
This.

In a Hollywood film, Casey moves in with the kid. Gets together with Rachel, or at least back to dating again. In a Hollywood film Casey fixes the relationship with his friends that we see in the film.

Not here.

It's a slow healing process. and one step at a time. This is the possibility of Patrick visiting him at Boston in the far future.

This man knows how to write desu. So natural feeling reaction in this scene, from everyone.

Is it likely that this Amazon Studios picture will eventually be viewable, like Neon Demon, at no extra cost to Prime members?

>>79200349
when it comes out on physical media im assuming

this movie is Amazon's biggest yet and I think they wanna make some $$$ off physical copies first. Neon Demon was a dud

Cut the amount of scenes with the nephews girlfriends and this movie is 10/10

>>79202292
Lol XD

They're funny tho

Ottoman, lul, ur drumming sucks man. Anyway, here's wonderwall. Ouch, I stubbed mo toesie on your stupid dollhouse, but don't tell your mom, she doesn't know we're sexing. By the way, my uncle is a fucking autist, amirite?

You can really slim down this movie by like 15-20 minutes and not lose anything if you cut most of the nephew scenes

>>79200548
Were you aroused?

solid 8/10 IMO, Casey did a superb job and the nephews scenes were bad but not tooooo bad.

Also hit a little too close to home since my dad died back in November

That scene where he's just standing over his brothers body was pure kino.

>>79194233
Hall should win the Oscar, so should Casey. We're lucky that Huppert was even nom'd.

I wish there would have been a better resolution. The movie had no real focus.

>>79203819
Really? It's laser-focused on how a grieving man has to deal with another's in the best way he can: Not at all. It has strong themes throughout interconnecting the characters, and grounding them in their own motivations that drive the movie.

The only inauthentic plot movement that sticks out is of course there will be a long, dramatic scene between him and his ex-wife.

>>79194109
I'd go so far as to say that not only is Manchester by the Sea the best movie released last year, but that it is the [bold]only[/bold] movie released last year.

was talking about this with a friend last night. horrendous movie. don't bother.

i kept waiting for something to happen and it never did. williams is top-billed and has 15 minutes of screentime. serious waste of talent.

>>79194109
worth seeing but don't go in looking for rainbows and shit

cuz you will get the equivalent of a kick in the nuts

>>79194357

he pretty much died that day

because we're mostly alcoholics

That's putting it lightly.

It's watchable.

It's brought down by every single character being an asshole. It's in Mass. so that's expected, though.

The film is really just... there. An uninspiring, slice of life kind of thing. There are no arcs. Affleck is an asshole before the incident and an asshole after. Williams is a cunt.

Seriously, let the kids freeze because muh sinuses.

>>79204979
It's basically Life Sucks and Then You Die: the Movie.

I can actually see it being the dark horse to win the oscar because liberals are so assblasted right now.

>>79194109

I'm to intelligent for Oscar trash.

>>79205247
Yeah better make Oscar film about entirely white city and white characters having "issues" in the year of our lord 2017 when sjw politics and prejudices against blacks are on the cover of every film mag and internet maganzine

>>79201000
"I'M ACTING" works for some movies though, and DDL is the kind of actor that makes it work as opposed to Leo who seems desperate to put in a memorable performance sometimes. Casey's subdued quiet performance was excellent, although could have come off as extremely bland and melodramatic under a different director.

>>79204968
Actually I have a theory that he did die that way, and the movie is actually the spirit of Lee having his life (the potential of it, not what did happen) flash before his eyes.

>>79205244
Her bedroom was on the first floor, and she probably didn't know the temperature. Casey didn't say that she told him not to turn on the central heating that night, just that he knows it drys her sinuses.

Also you're a huge bitch if you think Affleck's character is an asshole.

>>79205640
Of, ffs, you're the kind of dumb who do that with every movie.

>He died, guys, the rest of the movie is he dreaming his last instant!

Fuck off

>>79205779
>Affleck's character is an asshole.
Dude goes to bars, gets himself ass wasted in order to go and pick up a fight in order to get beaten.

He is an asshole.

>>79194109
Hard to Watch based on the novel "Stone Cold Bummer" by Manipulate

>>79205779

He was an asshole. Screaming and partying at 2am with a sick wife and kids? Total fucking dick.

It was fucking winter in New England, she didn't know it was cold? The whole heating thing was just weak writing, I think. Since when does a fire dry the air less than a furnace?
