Manchester by the Sea

Manchester by the Sea
"Manchester by the Sea" is a beautifully filmed movie that makes clear the point--not everything that is broken can be mended, at least not in this life. The film's plot deals with tragedy--divorce and death--as well as other life issues, and it does so in a realistic fashion. If anyone has ever [...]

There were several plot twists to this film that writer Affleck managed to tie up in the end but in this reviewer's [...]

Drowning Mona
Meant as black comedy, “Drowning Mona” left me aghast. I found it nearly devoid of humor. And what laughs there were depended on crudity, spousal abuse, and gruesome sight gags, including dismemberment. At one point, townsfolk speculate how Mona’s son lost his hand. After several grisly [...]
