Manchester by the Sea
Academy Awards 2017: Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role: Casey Affleck
|
After the death of his older brother Joe (Kyle Chandler), Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is shocked to learn that Joe has made him sole guardian of his nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges). Taking leave of his job, Lee reluctantly returns to Manchester-by-the-Sea to care for Patrick, a spirited 16-year-old, and is forced to deal with a past that separated him from his wife Randi (Michelle Williams) and the community where he was born and raised. Bonded by the man who held their family together, Lee and Patrick struggle to adjust to a world without him.

"That Manchester By The Sea is so absorbing is down to Lonergan's painstaking directorial style and to a superb Method-style performance from the lead actor." "The movie is pulsating with urgency and feeling. I could not take my eyes off any of these people." "A gut-punching, heart-breaking movie, with Affleck's Lee in the epicentre ... a perfect role for the under-appreciated actor."
