Manchester By The Sea

Two Screen Unseens in a month?  We are being spoilt... You'd think.
I had no idea what this one was.. General 'buzz' was favouring "La La Land", which I was not looking forward to.

This one turned out to be "Manchester By The Sea".  I'm not going to bother with a synopsis because, quite frankly I've wasted enough time on this as it is..  Only to say, you remember "I, Daniel Blake" ?
Well, that was a laugh-fest compared to this..  Don't get me wrong, Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams were excellent (most of the cast were to be fair).

But 'Jesus H Christ' it was depressing..
Critics and stuffy types who appreciate good, heart-felt acting will (and do) love it..
Me on the other hand... 

Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams get a star each.. **
