Before the release of this film, the best and applause of this year's independent films almost gave this film "Moonlight Boy", which tells the two explosive elements of "black people" and "comrades", but in the autumn, the annual North American film awards season has also begun to kick off in full swing. We were pleasantly surprised to find that a film called "Manchester by the Sea" led "Moonlight Boy" in terms of nominations, and this film received four nominations at the 2016 Gotham Awards, three nominations ahead of "Moonlight Boy". The Gotham Awards were founded in 1991 by the Independent Feature Project (IFP). In order to clarify the independence of the award, it was officially renamed the "Gotham Independent Film Awards" in 2008, and the line between it and mainstream commercial films was more clearly demarcated. As the most important award in the American independent film industry, the Gotham Awards are intended to encourage independent films that have not been released on a large scale in mainstream theaters and debuts of emerging directors. The selection targets are usually independent films that have not been released on a large scale in mainstream theaters, and the investment cost is not high. As the first grand prize to open in the awards season, the Gotham Awards are now increasingly valued by the industry.
Returning to the film itself, the plot of the story seems very simple, after the sudden death of his brother Joe (Kyle Chandler), Lee Chandler (Cassie Affleck), who works as a cleaner and handyman, returns to his hometown. Lee is shocked to find that he is going to become the legal guardian of Joe's high school son, Patrick (Lucas Hedges), as requested in Joe's will, and that status will continue until his 18th birthday. Joe's ex-wife (Greyham Moore) is a newly recovered alcoholic who later marries Rodney (Matthew Broderick) but barely appears in her son's life and does not intend to make any improvements to the relationship..... Just in this seemingly simple plot contains heartbreak and stagnation that people can't let go, from a regional family story, reflecting the brilliance and darkness of human nature, this is not what the movie originally wanted to bring to us, so the countless high ratings of this film are not without reason!
Talk about the male protagonist of this film - Kathy Affleck, in fact, there is an anecdote about this role, this film is supervised by Matt Dimon, originally Matt wanted to play this role himself, but filming "The Martian", let him lack of skills, he found his good friend Kathy Affleck to play this role. Mada's circle of friends also has a famous Ben Affleck, so fans affectionately call Kathy Affleck "Little Affleck". "Little Affleck" has actually starred in many films, but he has also performed in the supporting roles of "The Great Robbery of tall buildings", "Eleven-Thirteen Arhats", "Interstellar", "Angry Sea Rescue" and Matt's most classic movie "Mindcatcher".
The heroine is played by Michelle Williams, in the ratings of various media, her performance has also been fiercely exaggerated, countless praise, Michelle's works are also very broad, from "Brokeback Mountain" to "Forbidden Island", the most memorable thing for Kanye is her role in "My Week with Monroe".
Amway has been around for a long time, and without further ado, put on all the praises of the media, and this winter, before the awards season, don't miss this work produced and distributed by Amazon Studio.
