“Lee’s restraint in dealing with anything is born out of fear of yet another failure, and Affleck’s ability to convey that resistance makes this a performance that’s easy to under appreciate. Don’t. It deserves all the attention it can get.”
Hans Morgenstern, Independent Ethos
“Manchester by the Sea is a beautiful subversion of death and grieving. ”
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
“Manchester by the Sea makes you gasp at the enormity of the emotions these characters are feeling.”
Ruben Rosario, Miami Art Zine
“Kenneth Lonergan has made the most vital American film I’ve seen this year.”
Skip Sheffield, Skip Sheffield’s Flix, Muzik, Showz, Travel & More Blog
“Ben’s younger brother is quite an actor. I am sure we will hear of him at Oscar time.”
Alfred Soto, Humanizing the Vacuum
“Manchester by the Sea is the closest American example to date of what Mike Leigh achieves every couple of years in England: lived-in pictures with people acting in contradictory, infuriating ways, like the rest of us.”
