    Ever had a lump stuck in your throat for 2 hours? Ever held in a scream you wanted to scream but couldn’t because you were afraid you couldn’t stop? Ever seen an actor not acting, not performing, just being? Ever seen a director do his utmost to tear out your soul, stomp on it only to rebuild it in the most bitter sweet way imaginable? Ever lost someone, wanting them back so badly, living becomes a chore? Ever grieved? Ever felt so much love and responsibility it becomes unbearable? Manchester by the Sea shows us a life, a real life, in all its ugly beauty. It uses the power only the most exemplary pieces of art possess, the power to…

    Explora la soledad el trauma y la desicion de como mantenerse vivo, apesar de todas la fatalidades aun quedan compromisos que de alguna forma hacen que el personaje principal tenga que moverse de su zona de confort obligando a enfrentar su pasado, esta pelicula no pretende ser algo motivador si no mas bien algo realista sin querer parecer tan pretenciosa

    it’s to no suprise this film was shot incredibly and there is some beautiful scenes with some gorgeous cinematography this was very well acted and the dialogue was great there was moments that were emotionally and thought provoking into the shoes of the protagonist who i believe to be was the antagonist to his own life sadly and a great depiction of grief and loss as-well as some unironically funny moments. I sadly however did not connect with this film…

    A deep movie and one a little hard to grasp. Its this personal story but told in a beautiful yet depressing way, the cinematography perfectly captures these still of life, the movie brooding un its deep melancholy. An aura of inescapability shrouds the movie, your begging for something or someone to yield but its always firm in its brass. The words escape me as the movie is so pesonal it feels wrong to say anything too harsh, it truly builds…

    хамнет пососи почему? ну во-первых это интересно смотреть, 2 часа проходят быстро. а хамнет какая-то жидкая скучная хуйня во-вторых в отличие от хамнет, этот фильм не пытается мне че то навязать. он максимально уходит в реализм, он сдержанный. сентиментальных моментов очень мало, ну я имею ввиду то, что они не настолько сентиментальны как в хамнете. я ни одному персонажу в хамнете не поверил, тут все персонажи очень натуральные. ну все, 9/10

    aisyaabdh 8 月 24, 2026

    A realistic depiction of grief from storyline with no major character developement to the convincing performance given by the main characters. A film where you want to cry but the that stage of grief is already over. A movie about how life’s a bitch because the world will not “lower its voice” just to let you grieve. It will keep spinning like nothing changed. The sound design in the film was intentionally chaotic to interrupt your grieving. Damn sad movie…

    Really good but frustrating movie,its premise if executed better could’ve given us an absolute classic, my criticism with this is the same id give to aftersun, its insistence on subtlety and challenging the audience to understand the characters through it robs us of some potential great moments, there is beauty in the subtlety but its just overused here to the point the film never actually picks up the pace,no real development happens of the course of the movie,maybe some, but…

    Everybody pulled their weight like a lot, but it’s just too hard to keep up with Michelle Williams. Quite a visceral story with little to no sugar coating which made it a better piece of art but a worse plane movie :/

    rivayetlere göre senarist kenneth loregan arap şükrüden bu şehir beni boğuyor dinlerken kaleme almış. hata kavramını çokça kez sorguladım izlerken. tek bir hata nelere yol açabilir. başka bir gerçeklikte o hata olmasa neler olur.. sürükleyicilik ve hikaye anlatımında manyak bi iş izletti. kelimeler kiyafetsiz kalir bazen. yazacak hicbir seyim yok, mukemmel bi eser. ben biraz daha hata kavramı uzerine overthinklemeye gidiyorum.

    Watched this late at night and it stayed with me. It is quiet, heavy, and painfully real. Nothing feels forced or exaggerated. Nobody suddenly finds the right words, nobody magically gets better, and the movie never tries to make grief look beautiful. Lee is what hit me the hardest. He is not just sad. He is carrying something that he genuinely does not know how to live with. And the movie does not give him some perfect redemption arc, because…

    This was a rewatch straight from hell I watched this at 13 when I had like no critical thinking skills and just found it boring and oh my goodness this is amazing. While it is actually a bit slow (which I understand is the point) everything else is nailed down, almost perfect. But lee is just such an upsetting character and one with no closure. There’s no growth, he doesn’t get better and when he tries to explain himself he stutters and slips over his words. He isn’t selfish, he understands that dying will cause so many others to suffer but “he just can’t beat it”

    I think this is a beautiful movie that explores how flawed it is to be human and the great range of complex emotions that come with it. It’s definitely a slow burn which works perfectly for this movie and everything and everyone’s performance feels real and relatable in different ways. Definitely a movie everyone should watch Also damn I see how it is to talk to me 99.9% of the time after watching this and seeing how Lee doesn’t talk, but I mean he’s still better at expressing his emotions than I am when he’s not just punching someone

    I can’t beat it. I can’t beat it. I’m sorry. The way Casey Affleck plays Lee like he’s physically carrying a weight around his neck. The way his voice changes and he hides inside himself. Not the ending I wanted, which makes the movie all the better. There is no big cathartic release. If there is, it’s in one of the quietest moments of the film. It’s in seasons and the snow falling, and time slowly dulling every wound.

    I laughed way too hard at the panic attack scene. The rest of the movie just gave me the ick and was so dull in comparison to Lee’s back story.

    Uma crônica sóbria sobre o colapso do bem-estar emocional, na qual a anestesia dos sentimentos surge como o único mecanismo de defesa possível contra uma tragédia insuportável.

    I have a lot more feelings about this that I’m sure will become clearer once I see this again. For now, Manchester by the Sea is incredibly funny, dark, and far more uplifting than I expected.

    I kept thinking How is this man supposed to live with all of this? I honestly thought he was going to kill himself or find some way to escape his sadness. But I guess that’s the reality 🙁 he’s going to live with all his regrets until the end, and no one is coming to save him . And fucking Michelle… girl, what is going on with you and these marriages?

    There is a lot of great in here (Affleck, Williams, and that kids accent) but the overall film felt maybe a little underwhelming. I just don’t feel the gut-punch I was promised. I can’t help compare grief portrayal here to Blue, which just feels more poignant That being said… “I can’t beat it” … man Side note: I do think it is special when you can just tell an actor/actress knows that that particular film will be their most important performance.

    A film about stuggling to deal with grief. The acting was amazing and I could see Lee’s mindset through the music and images. The director did a great job making New Hampshire look like the most depressing, hellish place on earth. Was expecting a cathartic or harrowing climax after the depressing personal and family tragedies but it never happened.

    Beautiful shots. It feels like u are just dropped into their lives. The conversations feel natural and seem like how they would actually be as in it doesn’t give more than what it needs to away. It’s not spelling everything out. The ending will leave me thinking tho was expecting something else…

    lukas 8 月 23, 2026

    é um filme bem sensível e cru, ainda mais que toda forma do Lee agir é uma das principais armas para nos fazer sentir cada sentimento do enredo. é bonito de ver como o Lee e o Patrick foram lidando com o acontecimento e o quanto o Lee foi presente e pensou no melhor para o presente e futuro do Patrick. são tantas cenas difíceis e tristes nesse filme que nem consigo destacar uma

    Manchester by the Sea is devastating not in the Requiem for a Dream sense, where the movie overwhelms you with tragedy but it hurts because it understands something much quieter: sometimes people experience something so terrible that they simply cannot return to who they were before and the movie doesn’t insist that they do. That’s what I love about it. I think it’s is a masterpiece. It’s one of the most honest films I’ve seen about grief because it doesn’t promise that…

    This film is amazing, Casey Affleck’s raw masterclass of an acting performance really made this film amazing, and unlike other films that follow grief this one doesn’t give you a conventional or neat Hollywood style ending, the ending actually feels natural and honest.

    It’s the most accurate depiction of depression in a man that I’ve ever seen in a movie. Nothing dramatized, just quiet and all consuming depression. The people that are just meeting him think he’s an asshole but the people that know him can see how the depression and guilt has consumed who he was. I’m not a fan of the ending with the depression seemingly winning and Joe’s dying wish, which he had unquestionably thought would help his brother, being thrown to the side.

    3.5 唔…卡西演的没有话说、和前妻偶遇对话那段两位演的实在是太好了、感觉一部分归功于导演、很好的把握了这个本子的气质。但是怎么说呢…也许期待太高了吧、也许被剧透太多吧、观感其实很一般。
