Manchester by the Sea

[Fatrav]

Absolute dross. It got 5 stars in the Times. Two and a quarter hours of misery and time I'll never get back. To be avoided at all costs.

I'm looking forward to it immensely, so I'll let you know what I thought once I've been!

Cheers,

I didn't thin it was quite that bad, but agreed I wouldn't say 5 stars, 6 / 10 from me, it had its moments.

I was dragged to see Manchester by the sea, in the 'of course I'll come mode' fully expected to enter snooze after a short period. It is about how a family deal with a duel tragedy. Not at all my normal fare, but it was excellent , a few moments of sly humour, fantastic acting, and not boring though the subject matter was pretty grim. Beautifully filmed. When you come out of a movie you fully expected to hate and the worse thing you can think to say that you thought the director could have been more imaginative with the sound track (Albinoni) it can't be bad.
