The film centres on Afflecks character Lee Chandler who receives bad news that his brother has died and must return to his home town to be a guardian for his orphaned nephew. This causes issues with his nephew Patrick as Lee wants to move back to Boston and there is clearly a traumatic reason Lee does not want to stay in Manchester.
Casey was overlooked in the wrongfully dismissed gone baby gone, but I feel here he may finally get the plaudits he deserves and must be a front runner for the Oscars. Affleck gives an emotionally charged nuisanced performance that manages to not only hit you in the feels but plays a reclusive man dealing with trauma with silence and looks......hard to do but he pulls it off.
Michelle Williams although plays nothing but a side character here is captivating in every scene she is in and gives an emotionally charged honest performance.
overall this film is difficult to watch but I found it truly captivating. This is due to the emotionally heavy plot and Oscar worthy performances.
