Mother of Christ I just watched Manchester by the Sea. I’d avoided it since I’m a bereaved father from the same place it’s set. What a fucking masterpiece. Want to wrap myself in it. Stunning.
Also I bet it would suck to make a comedy and have the funny parts of MBTS blow your shit out of the Massachusetts Bay, yet people love to do it!
@robdelaney It’s bloody amazing, isn’t it? I’m not sure what the else Michelle Williams could do to win the Oscar. What a tour de force.
@robdelaney Just a beautiful movie. The scene in the police station is unforgettable.
@robdelaney Massively underrated film,Casey Affleck is unreal,very awkward at points but find myself watching once a year!.
@robdelaney It is a masterpiece but also fuckin horror.. casey affleck is a 10 in it
@robdelaney Yup, amazing, and I can say as a Maine guy pair it with the great In the Bedroom if you want a double shot of New England beauty and misery.
@robdelaney I avoided it, too. Then watched it one night when I was apparently thinking, "Ya know, I think I need a gut punch." Really underestimated it. Although if you're from there, you know why this is funny:
@robdelaney This scene alone is a masterclass in acting.
@robdelaney Damn, you have some stones to watch that movie. That must have brought up some deep emotions.
@robdelaney I never understood the criticism of this film. Absolutely wrecked me from the jump and haunted me for weeks after, and IMHO it’s nearly flawless. I think intense grief is too much for some causal viewers to convert into any sort of artistic appreciation 🤷🏼♂️ So brilliant though 🤙🏻
