Good film but totally forgettable I have seen a number of films this year. Some have been of very good standard like Nocturnal Animals, Silence, Hunt For The Wilderpeople, La La Land and A Monster Calls. My expectations were low going into this film. Heavily praised by the critics but mixed opinions among cinema goers.
Manchester By The Sea is a watchable film. Beautifully filmed and well acted. However the story is pretty average and i never once felt any sympathy for the characters, so it was hard to feel involved in the outcome. Also found some of the more sentimental parts of the film to be ruined by loud classical music.
Overall its worth watching once but i highly doubt you will want to watch again.
