Manchester by the Sea 2016

This movie is so depressive. Just like Mark Ellis once said in Collider Videos, "sad movies are movies too". And this is a brilliant one.

"Manchester by the Sea" was beautifully shot, brilliant acted and splendid directed.

The story feels so real and no cliché. That's how life is. Even the ending feels so real. No "good ending" ou "bad ending". A real ending.

After this movie, Casey Affleck will no longer be recognized as "Ben Affleck's brother". He made the performance of his life and probably 2016.

Lucas Hedges was also really good, just like Michelle Williams (even though she has not had much screen time.

Kenneth Lonergan was fantastic in the way he told the story, including how he used flashbacks to explain the Casey Affleck's past (which in the beginning is not a very likeable guy).

Overall, this movie took me to such an “emotional ride” and, because of that, I'm not sure if I want to see this again anytime soon.. Outstanding movie.
