At the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month, Jimmy Fallon described Manchester by the Sea as “the only thing from 2016 that was more depressing than 2016.”
Certainly, the fact it’s centered around no fewer than four deaths makes its position as one of the frontrunners for the Best Picture Oscar in a year so packed with notable deaths rather fitting.
With an unflinching stare of despair and pain, Manchester by the Sea is a gruelling movie. It’s also a great one.
