FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
pieterwesselsbiz This movie has an authenticity to it that is one of its leading strengths. It's also why it's so dreadfully boring. Casey Afleck certainly does give a performance of a lifetime. In fact, the whole cast is pretty rock solid overall. This movie is just so boring to watch that I felt like clawing my eyes out just to feel something.
betty dalton Truly a lot of attention for detail went into this movie. It is intelligent, quirky, meditative. The photography in particular is breathtakingly gorgeous. Few directors can make a picture look so enticing through images. Kenneth Lonergan's photographer made art with his work. The soundtrack deserves much praise as well. Really heavenly classical music. Placed at the right moments, the classical soundtrack really powered this in itself tedious story line. Many people hated the classic music though, but the music and the gorgeous photography were the only reason I kept watching this movie till the end.I kept hoping something extraordinary would happen in this tedious story, but no, everything stayed as dreary and boring as in everyday life.The story just is mind numbing boring, except in the middle of the story then an avalanche of misery and violence erupts. But as fast as these emotions rise up, as quickly are they played down again. What follows is a story about how to take care of a teenager who has lost his mother. Who wants to see that for more than 2 hours long? Casey Affleck really acts great though. But some other supporting and unfortunately also some leading characters (the teenager) just act at a mediocre level. Not bad, but not elevating either.If the director would have cut 45 minutes out of this too long and therefore dreary story, it could have become a great delicate portrait of a broken family. Now it only pleases the critics and other people, who are into documentary styled stories about grief stricken families.
MichaelMRamey I didn't really enjoy Moonlight or La La Land. This film would have been my pick for best picture that year. I always said Casey Affleck was underrated and a much better actor than his Brother, but I guess he isn't underrated anymore after this film. Great story, brilliant acting and despite so much tragedy in this film, you end up with a smile on your face and are reminded that no matter what comes at you, life keeps going.
orhan Akdeniz Our confidence is not as great as we thought. its size, until faced with the destiny. Do not tell me never to do it, it could make life. The film tells this very very well. Affleck deserves the reward. We bored Heavily made, exaggerated, with the biography player. Very simple and good acting.
