Chris Stuckmann reviews Manchester by the Sea, starring Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Lucas Hedges, Kyle Chandler, Gretchen Mol, C.J. Wilson. Directed by Kenneth Lonergan.
This is one of those films that has moments that feel far too real. The scene where she confronts him outside toward the end is beyond devastating.
This movie kind of broke me when I saw it in theaters. I had just had my first kid … and the story is that sometimes things just never get better. Sometimes people never get over things. It hurts.
“Theres nothing there”
It was such a tough scene to watch
@@Colin-kh6kp The heart of the film, when the audience's collective heart breaks.
"i can't beat it."
I finally saw this, and it is without a doubt one of the best films of the decade. This film is exactly what I wanted out of Moonlight. I loved Moonlight, but it didn't hit me in an emotional way. Manchester by the Sea almost broke me. I related with Casey Affleck's character so much. There were even people crying in the theater. Which is something I've never seen before. This is an absolute masterpiece.
Jake G 2187 was it the fire scene? That was fucked up.
too bad lucas hedges cant fucking act to save his life
Yes.
Moonlight 💩🗑️🔥
Moonlight and this aren’t even comparable? And I’m incline to believe that maybe you didn’t understand it?
Man that police station scene made me cry.
I think the music was Unnecessary but apart from that it was great
@@willsr2112 the music adds to the emotion of the movie throughout
@@elliok8148 not when he was talking about his family’s death
Chris looks different under Schmoes lighting.
1st thing I thought of.
Still looks white to me.
porn lighting
Looks better tbh
I don't think he looks better :\ he doesn't seem as well lit here. There are more shadows, and he looks slightly jaundice rather than a healthy pink :)
Manchester United 4-1 West Ham
Manchester United by the sea
ManU still shit though.
Only a United fan would care about the League Cup... lol
iUtopian at the end of the day only the champions that will be remembered. Better win small cups than not winning league or just qualify to CL.
I mean look at spurs, sacrificing CL game for PL game just to qualify for CL next season.
MSTR Halam899 How this actually got 60+ likes is beyond me,

the power of a town name I guess.
I absolutely loved this movie. One of my favorites of all time. Great watch.
Yes.
Chris we need to talk about your thumbnails
samlikesfilms I've seen yours dude! Those who live in glass houses.......... 😂
samlikesfilms omg Sam I saw this comment liked it then realised wait I know you and have made a short film with you
samlikesfilms the thumbnail change
He has a gallery of his own face which could be used as a feeling description image.
I love his faces - they crack me up and are "original "
Really hope Casey gets the oscar he deserves, hes been so good for so many years in the background in films we all know and love. For me hes up there with his contemporaries of his generation like Gosling, Hiddleston, Hardy and Fassbender.
I guess you're happy now
Good year for the Afflecks. Ones getting Oscar nods, and one is Batman
🗑
Other got Razzies
You're the reason I review movies Chris. Keep inspiring the little guy my friend. And hey, I'm in Kentucky.. not too far!! I would love to represent my state in the youtube movie reviewing community.
You are going to kill it on schmoes
Well I was subbed to you before I was to Chris so I hope that's consolation for you
Yo cincy guy here. 513 gang
How are the reviews going?
Damn, if only the Avengers were in this film, then it would've gotten an A+
Julian Webb Yeah, at least a mention would've been good. For example: "Ugh, why couldn't the Avengers take care of this boy instead of me." A+
He gave Moonlight an A+ and that didn't have the Avengers in it
Han Solo False, there's actually a deleted scene where Chiron teams up with Captain America to fight space Nazis, but they cut it for some reason
Julian Webb Lmao
+Han Solo Well of course he is a jew
A rare movie, in a long time, where real life depiction makes you feel like you are watching something in your own community! Having experienced the loss of a 13 year old neighbor to a bike accident, this movie took me back to that time, place, loss & ultimately a little hope. Well done & powerful.
Casey deserves an Oscar. And the kid was great too!
A neighbour?
Chris please review Bee Movie!!!
Campbell Kane Why are people obsessing overt this movie? Bee movie is totally meh.
Because memes
Jordon Collier It's terrible, but really hilarious
Because it's my masterpiece
The Real Jerry Seinfeld
Oscar season is definitely making up for the lackluster summer.
This film is a modern masterpiece. Truly one of the greats. Casey Affleck’s performance was stunning, breathtakingly stunning. It was so tragic, and the end dining table conversation he has with his nephew and what he says to him is so heartbreakingly relatable. Hats off to everyone involved.
Aw... I was hoping for an A+
crazyangst12 should have been a D+
Marvel Contest of Whales how
Marvel Contest of Whales your kidding
Another movie better than Deadpool that gets just an A
You get an F. Your statement gets an F. And your life gets an F.
Deadpool was awesome deal with it
isnt it you're a blah blah blah?
+ENIDØ Lmao you savage
ENIDØ I'm rubber your glue. Neener, neener, neener! :p
The TH-cam Movie Reviewer's universe!!! Another crossover!! It's all connected!
But that's just a theory... a TH-cam Theory, thanks for reading.
King of Wakanda it's the beginning of the 4 night channel crossover event! starting with the schmoes, Chris Stuckman, Jeremy Jahns, and theFlickPick!
King of Wakanda sorry been watching too much DC TV
Tactical Pig lol.
I'm in shock
One of the things that struck me about this film (saw it tonight at a surprise screaning) was how darkly funny it was. The film as a whole is so emotionally heavy with what these characters have been through but some of the interactions, reactions, things that were said and things that happened were so genuine and naturally awkward or well placed without being forced it actually got frequent big laughs. Even with how depressing this film is at times it still manages to be genuinely humerous without any actual 'comedy'.
The comment I was looking for!
Great review Chris!
Every end of year, you should go back and rewatch all of your A+ films and regrade them to now and see if their scores change.
Keep it up!
So many good films now
oscar season
oh hi mark
That's exactly how I felt when I first watched "Gone Baby Gone", and now when I saw this film as well, the performances are so genuine and personal that it makes you uncomfortable because you feel like you need to give these characters their own space to talk privately. I really love movies like that. They give more of a truthful insight into certain situations and certain people. I did also feel like I wanted to see more at the end. I did notice how subtle his acting was in the beginning which made me a bit annoyed because I guess I wanted him to express more emotion, but once they showed his past, I completely understood the choice of subtle emotions for his acting and I greatly appreciate it because, like you said, it's more realistic that way.
I will never forget the scene, at 3:07, ever in my life. I just can't. I have never gotten so emotional while watching a movie.
It's amazing how lighting can change your whole appearance. (and I don't mean that in a negative way)
it was the first movie I saw at the Viennale...and it blew me away too. the flash backs are very well woven into the film and despite having this incredibly tragic story, there are tons of humours moments that just make a well rounded movie experience. ACTING WAS SUPERB!
Chris please review Sherlock before season 4 comes out?
when's it coming out ?
Jan 1st
Shaghayegh Shokatpour yessssss
Johnlock inc :D Can't wait xD
Gotta say, Chris Stuckmann's setup is definitely the best of all the reviewers.
just finished watching this film and it really does feel heavy. At first I hesitated since it's a drama that's over 2 hours 10 mins long, but after watching I totally agree that the story can go on longer and I'll still be invested. The characters and the choices they make are just so human, which makes it such a rare film.
Chris please review trainspotting before T2 comes out. An absolute classic!
Alex Townsend wtf? there making a sequel?
Yeah, the sequel comes out sometime in January I believe, there's a trailer for it and everything. Looks halfway decent, hopefully it stands on it's own without resorting to the schticks from the first film.
Danny Boyle is back and I have hope in him I reckon it will be a great sequel without to many of the old jokes.
til_thasmokeclearz Where have you been? It was announced ages ago aha!
Idk. I say just leave the 1st one alone.
Chris is spot on, 3 quarters through this movie I was wondering how much was left, but then I thought to myself I couldn't care less because I would've watched 4 more hours of it. It's the type of film where near the ending I assumed it could've just cut to black at any moment, with 99% of movies you can tell exactly when it's ending and know a final shot when you see it, but with Manchester it just ended. Not after some big arc, not after all the problems were solved, not in a fairy tale happily ever after type of way, it simply just ended. Not many movies could do that and have it feel right, but the way Manchester was set up was so brilliant, the fact that it just made you feel like watching these peoples (very interesting and emotionally gripping) lives was amazing
First time viewer at this channel. You've never come up on my feed :-( and I've been here since late 2005.
Quite good and objective review. My condolences being in LA ..... a place I consider the societal cesspool of the planet.
On a superficial note ..... magnificent red hair. Lucky lad you are. Very Envious.
That scene on the street between him and his ex-wife is one of the most heartbreaking scenes I've ever seen.
Especially if you've ever been divorced.
This movie is soo good. I saw it a week ago. The scene that Chris had a screenshot of at 1:58 in the video was very heart-wrenching. I probably wouldn't see it again given the heaviness of some scenes in the film, but it is a must see.
Chris's reviews are the only things that keep me alive!
I hope Casey and Ben both get nominated, just so Casey can beat him >:D
yeah lol Ben has become a very difficult to like guy
Zac Winter Casey for acting, Affleck for Writing + Producing
Zac Winter ben for what movie?
Ben is not getting nominated for acting.
missStockholm Live By Night
This was my favorite movie of 2016, definitely in my top 3 from the past decade. It really hits hard when is revealed what happened to Casey's character.
saw the film today, it's unconventional, pretty funny sometimes and really well made. Everyone was great in it, especially Afleck and the guy who plays the nephew.
Loved the review Chris! Great to see you hanging with the Schmoes! I cannot believe that nobody has talked about how funny this movie is though!
Chris changed the thumbnail because that's literally what all of the comments are about lol.
what was the thumbnail before he changed it.
***** Hard to explain, but kinda like he was screaming at the floor or something lol.
I hear a strong Oscar buzz! My predictions for the nominations are Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and I'm hoping for Best Picture!
Thank you Chris for all your reviews you're awesome man
Just now watching this movie and while it was great in the emotional department and definitely feels “real” as far as life and the heartbreak it can bring, it is a slow burn and may not be as great as advertised to some. But the performances are amazing and toward the end the movie really pays off.
8 out of the last 10 movies Chris saw got the A mark.
How fucking much you love your job right now?
He's thrilled. We hardly ever get this many great films in a row.
I agree with your comment on “I could watch more when it ended” and that it had no real 1-2 hour structure I loved it
I think it would be awesome to see Casey Affleck win best performance
Chris looks like he's been cutting onions in that thumbnail
I guess it's gonna be a bit harder for Casey Affleck to get all the fame now his big bro is Batman now, I've seen Gone Baby Gone it's sick he is so underrated, I hope Warner Bros decides to have him in the DCEU he'd be a sick Hal Jordan's Green Lantern
Just because they're brothers it doen't mean they work together, they both have individual talent.
Well, I got so excited to see you in the Schmoes studio
I'm excited to see you on Collider later today!
In Stuckmann we trust
The other day, someone asked me how this film was and the only way I could describe it was that it is film making in its purest form. Everything, and I mean everything about this film is perfect. This is perhaps the best acted film I've ever seen. Do yourself a favor and see it ASAP.
THE AMAZING BULK HILARICITY REVIEW!
Ethan Joe Too easy
Ethan Joe I've been waiting for that too.
I cried so hard during the breakdown scene in the kitchen. I cried all the way through to the next scene and the scene after that.
It's an incredibly sad and moving picture that wont be forgotten.
"I just don't want him in a freezer"...
I actually loved Casey's character from the very first scene
(SPOILER ALERT) WOW!!! Picturesque, incredible performances and just so intriguing to watch. Once you understand Lee's character your just compelled to see it through whether you like him or not.
The structure of the film is essential because it leaves a piece out of the puzzle and forces the viewer to speculate what happened to Lee in the past. I loved the scenes where characters said "is that thee Lee Chandler" because it really helped build tension. I also really liked the chemistry between Patrick and Lee. You could tell they were both very close to Kyle and understood why he wanted to bring them together as family. Lee awkwardly looks out for Kyle and takes care of him and Patrick respects him as a guardian.
The ending is sad but realistic. Its clear Lee can't overcome his past and help raise Patrick in Manchester despite proving himself a capable guardian. But when he tells Lee he's looking for an apartment with a spare room its a bittersweet solution. It really left me hoping Lee can rebuild his life and move on.
This movie is so quiet, but it absolutely blows you away, a lot of tear jerker moments but laughter sprinkled in too. Wonderful performances too
Just purchased the film and saw it for the first time and I have it 5 stars on Amazon because those giving the low ratings had no clue as to what they were watching. Usually, I like light hearted films which have happy endings but this one leaves the ending up to the viewer. Like Chris stated, the performances are fantastic and if you watch it, bring a box of tissues because you're going to need it. While Lee Chandler, really isn't expressive of his emotions even before the real tragic event which emotionally stunts him for good, that reality and how he even functions is amazing to me. Life goes on and sometimes you just have to make the best of it.
I give this review an A-
You have Chris as your profile photo lol Stalker.
I Love that Casey won for this performance. So rare a subtle performance wins the Oscar.
Williams should have won supporting as Davis should have been Lead.
Yet another movie that'll probably never been shown in any cinemas near me...
Affleck’a performance and the screenplay. My god.
So you think Moonlight is better than Manchester by the Sea? As a black male who honestly hates the crap the black community puts out each year I'm extremely happy
Viratos Crap? really?
I think he's saying that he's happy that Moonlight is good.
***** i'm talking about movies such as the Madea franchise, haunted house etc so yes "crap"
***** its a good movie, but from the looks of it it doesn't compare to Moonlight. plus having a sound track that doesn't involve hip hop is kind of a breath of fresh air.
Yup and also there's those thrillers with the main stars being black like last years The Perfect Guy and this years When the Bough Breaks. Now here's Moonlight.
Wow, every movie lately has been flooring you. Such an exciting year for movies.
(Groans) There's so many movies coming out this month in late November and all over December thanks to Oscar season and I'm only limited to seeing a few movies in December and I can't see every movie in theaters plus Christmas shopping.
22martinez1 yeah I'd see what your interested in, and then in February see what else is nominated at the Oscars
I do like to see movies in theaters in the weekends especially good ones it's my own hobby I really love movies I'm just so bummed out that I'm missing out on plenty of good movies in this coming month I really wanted to see Arrival, Moana, Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them, The Edge of Seventeen, Pattinson, Nocturnal Animals, and La La Land I really wanted to see La La Land since its written and directed by the guy who made Whiplash my favorite movie of 2014 but like I said I'm limited to seeing a few movies this month so I can see Rogue One if its good, Assassins Creed since I'm a big fan of the franchise hoping the movie is good and not a stinking pile of garbage like the rest of video game movies, and Silence coming out in a few days before Christmas.
22martinez1 don't see this one it was a waste
Infamous what this movie or Assassins Creed?
22martinez1 this movie, I haven't seen assassins creed
2016 is the year of subtle acting. From Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga, to Amy Adams in Arrival. Unless we go to Moonlight zone. That is intense acting.
Where is the Nocturnal Animals Review ???
I'll get it out soon
^lol
I'm glad you reviewed this movie. It's the kind of movie that doesn't leave you for days after you watched it
Can we get some stats on Chris's reviews from November?? Just an absurd amount of good movies, seems like there's only been one movie in the last ten that wasn't at least an A-
its Oscar season! :)
This movie... man...
No words can explain how good it was
I felt really close to this movie because being from Boston this feels so much like people I know. lee looks and acts almost exactly like my uncle its very weird
CHRIS ON MOVIE TALK TODAY. YAYAYYAYAYAY
Someone's at Schmoes/Collider studios!
you realize he says that at the beginning of the video right?
Yeah I realized that about 5 seconds after I added my comment lol
I sadly won't be able to see it until December 16th when it plays in my area, but once it does, I'm definitely seeing it! Great review, Chris! :)
He also said on his Twitter page he's watching...Your Name...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Sorry it's just my favorite movie of the year.
He did say "plan to see", not "will see".
I hope he reviews it though. Love that movie.
Can't wait! That's also my favorite film of the year. It'd be awesome if it won the Oscar.
+Jake G 2187 I would love it to get a nomination at least.
I've decided I REALLY like Chris' reviews of dramas and lower-key movies. I've noticed that when I disagree with him on reviews it mostly tends to be the big blockbuster type movies.
Jeez Chris try to look less like a zombie in your next thumbnail!
2016 has been an amazing year for film. There are so many good looking films from la la land right through to moonlight. I'm so excited to see them all!
Please do a review of trainspotting!
He'd be committing a crime against humanity if he didn't review it before Trainspotting 2 comes out
Thanks for the captions, I'm in a train and I don't have headphones so I got to learn about something new without annoying anyone else
DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER!! IT IS JUST A PLAY BY PLAY OF THE ENTIRE MOVIE!!
Lucas Hedges should have won the oscar too, just for the meat in the freezer scene! His performance was stunning!
That fire scene tough, Phew! The red wedding 2.0.
OMG
this is out of context, and I haven't seen this, but Deadpool probably shouldn't be rated higher
I sometimes wonder if Chris regrets giving Deadpool an A+.
Chris, review
Loving, Bleed for This, Billy Lynn, Lion, Miss Sloane, & Rules Don't Apply please!
Loving B+, Bleed for This C, Billy Lynn C, Lion B, Miss Sloane B, Rules Don't Apply C+
you forgot to say please.
Jake Burgess Corrected!
Zachary Gerig :)))))))))))))))))
I got you.
I thought this movie was boring ! but I read the synopsis before I saw it so I expected it to show you the actual dramatic moments. I expected to be sobbing throughout it but I didn't.
Chris I watched the movie . It was a good one . As u mentioned in the review, I like the conversations between the characters , it was great. The movie was realestic. And the movie completely looked great.
Chris I like your movie reviews you do it great . You present it very well . Wish u a good luck for your future. God Bless👍
I must say as someone whos tumbled upon your channel, I enjoy watching your reviews. It is evident that you understand film( I even wonder if you studied it In college), and that you have huge appreciation for it as art and as a media for storytelling. I plan on watching your reviews in the future to help me decide what movies to go see. I also love the fact that you have an appreciation for anime. I feel that whole genre of film has some hidden gems but for some reason does not have huge mainstream appeal in the states with the exception of Hayao Miyazaki.
Manchester by the sea? Isn't that essentially Liverpool?
And the shittest comment of 2016 goes to...
Forest_gravy yes but they didn’t want to venture into Liverpool. Would have had all their gear stolen in minutes.
Just like Chris for the first 30 minutes. I was like how the hell did Casey Affleck won an Oscar for this role
and the movie went on. I was like ooh that's why he won an Oscar.
Is this the Best Actor winner?
yessss
Robert Lonergan is a good director and writer. He's made three films You Can Count On Me, Margaret, and this. You Can Count On Me is amazing as well
hello Chris you're the best. have you ever seen any Bollywood movie? you need to review one i can recommend some...
abe bhadwi jaat ke chutiya hai kya
Bollywood is a cheap copy of Hollywood , nothing to say more.
lol
It would be a miracle if he ever saw more than 10 foreign movies
Unless it's Anime, I don't think Chris is watching foreign films all that much.
With this many good films to come out this year and more to come later on this month, I'd like to see Chris do another Top 20 Best list this year. Films of late 2016 are really strong.
Well that was a very unexpected background lol. Hope you win the schmoes competition!
At first I was like "holy crap Chris go to bed it's like 4am!" Then I realized "oh wait, he's on the west coast, nevermind" 😆 great review
Hey Chris ever going to do a reaction to the last of us 2!!!!
Moonlight, Manchester By the Sea, La La Land, and Hell or High Water are my 4 favorite movies this year. Each one could've been a contender for best movie any other year for me.
I think Casey Affleck is a better actor than his brother Ben. I loved him in Gone Baby Gone.
That scene with the Albinoni theme... man: it hits you like a fracking punch to the stomach! Great movie!!!!
Imagine if he grew a really big beard.
Great review as always. The review always want me to see them in theaters.
