Manchester by the Sea Blu-ray Review

Manchester by the Sea

Disclosure: I received the movie “Manchester by the Sea” in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own.

There are no spoilers in this review.

When I heard about this movie I was very excited to watch it.  I mean Casey Affleck as the lead? I felt it had to be a great movie.

First off it is a good movie, but you have to stick it out through the whole movie to see this.  This story is about our main character who is Lee who has a brother that has been sick with congestive heart failure. The brother that is sick has been raising his own 16-year-old son.   This movie, in all honesty, has very sad music.  It is a somber movie but it is understandable with all of the conflicts that happen along with the constant turmoil.

The movie showed that the characters of mostly men had trouble relating to one another.  The “F” word is very prevalent throughout the movie so you will want to be prepared.  If the word offends you this movie is not for you.

The actors do a wonderful job with playing their characters.  Throughout the movie, my husband and I agreed that we felt really bad for Casey Affleck’s character Lee.  He has not had an easy adult life and you will have a better understanding as you watch the movie.

I have to reiterate that this movie is quite slow getting started and we pretty much continued to watch it because we had to see how things ended.  I am very happy that we did.
