Steven M. 10/08/2021 My favorite movie of that year! Simply splendid. The acting and directing and writing are beautiful. My pick for Best Picture over Moonlight. See more Katie D 03/15/2021 Perfect movie for a gray day! This film feels a little long and the editing/cinematography could use some work, but the acting is award-worthy! It is definitely Casey Affleck's best work and also a wonderful performance by Lucas Hedges!

The plot can be a bit to juggle, considering the excessive use of flashbacks. It was pretty sad but I won’t lie, it wasn’t half as sad as I was expecting. It touches on some deep topics and makes you think, no doubt. Nonetheless, it’s pretty solid. Will watch again one day.

The film has one of the most relatable and realistic depictions of depression and grief that I've ever seen. This is thanks to the great writing and the amazing acting about the subtle silent grief and mundane emotional shut in of everyday life after grief and trauma. Casey Affleck says so much with so little words with just his subtle facial expressions and body language of detachment and disinterest, just barely keeping it in and feeling unsure of what to say. Michelle Williams' role is much briefer than what the advertisements but up, but her role is still crucial and casts a heartbreaking shadow over the main characters. The movie is quietly heartbreaking, but still very funny with great mundane family banter. I love the cute soundtrack with the cozy yet quiet New England seaside setting. The movie has a bittersweet ending and it leaves you wanting more, since honestly I could watch this family all day. See more Tori R @Lateforsupper Jun 19 Horrible movie! Don’t waste your precious time. It goes nowhere fast. It had potential but didn’t go in any direction but down. I have no idea where it got all those positive reviews. I understand the critics giving it high scores because it’s so bizarre but normal people would not give it a 78% . Don’t trust the reviews See more Read all reviews
