It meets the hype


This movie is really good. For those who pine for the days of traditional family stories like "Death Of A Salesman" Denzel and Viola absolutely kill it. I love this story.

I'll be seeing it sometime next week. Denzel looks excellent in the role.

I totally agree. Denzel is just amazing and there had better be a lifetime performance to beat him out for the Oscar. I'm surprised Viola is not getting more nominations in awards season.

It takes a little to get past the stagey dialogue but...good god, the performances are something we're so lacking in cinema today. So sick of CGI heavy movies.

I saw Manchester By the Sea today, and the movie is great. But the fact that Casey Affleck is even mentioned with Denzel as actor favorite is mind blowing. Manchester is a better movie, but Denzel's performance is one of the greatest ever on film. It's insane Affleck is leading as best actor, when he simply had the better role and did not reach into the incredible depths that Denzel did. This reminds me of Raging Bull all over again.
