Manchester By The Sea (Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams)

[kvz5]

This is getting ridiculously good reviews at Sundance.

An uncle is forced to take care of his teenage nephew after the boy's father dies.

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA is tremendous. The complete picture of a family moving through grief. Casey Affleck burns like nothing I've ever seen.

Hollywood Elsewhere
Kenneth Lonergan's "Manchester By The Sea" is an immensely sad (but not depressing), triple-A grief drama that will knock your socks off.

"Manchester By The Sea" will be a Best Picture nominee 12 months hence -- guaranteed. Casey Affleck will be Best Actor nominated -- locked.

Casey Affleck has never had a role like this -- he'll most likely never get this lucky again...but he might. Let's hope. It's a home run.

"The reception at the Eccles for 'Manchester By the Sea' is reminiscent of the electricity in the room when 'Boyhood' debuted here."

Erin Whitney
Manchester By the Sea, undoubtedly best film I've seen at #Sundance so far. Michelle Williams does *so* much with so few scenes.

'Manchester by the Sea' is heartbreaking, gorgeous, operatic--with Kenneth Lonergan at his finest. #Sundance2016

Josh Lincoln Dickey
MANCHESTER BY THE SEA is ... wow. A tough, real as hell emotional marathon worth running. Casey Affleck to the front of the line. #SUNDANCE

Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea: wrenching family drama like Ordinary People, In the Bedroom-Casey Affleck brilliant #Sundance2016

@AADowd
Gonna be hard to convey in words how much I loved MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. But it's my job, so guess I'll try tomorrow. #Sundance2016

@TomiLaffly
Casey Affleck....he just grabs your heart. Takes your breath away. #ManchesterByTheSea #Sundance

If festgoers applauded drama like they do comedy, there is a sequence in MANCHESTER BY THE SEA worthy of a standing ovation

Interesting, I'll keep my eye on it.

Is there a trailer yet?

Got itself a domestic distribution deal.

Amazon nabs rights to "Manchester by the Sea" at #Sundance http://bit.ly/1KxU2vn

Amazon has closed a deal for domestic rights to Kenneth Lonergan’s acclaimed “Manchester by the Sea.” Bidding reached $10 million and Amazon will have to find a theatrical distributor. It’s committed to an awards season campaign, as Oscar buzz is already following the pic. Variety first reported Amazon’s bid.

Fox Searchlight and Focus Features were also in the mix for the drama about a grief-stricken Boston handyman (Casey Affleck). WME handled sales. Other distributors, such as the Weinstein Co. and Broad Green, did not bid. The film also drew early interest from Tri-Star, but no offer. Foreign rights to the film are still available.
