From multi - award winning director Kenneth Lonergan (Margaret, You Can Count On Me) comes the hauntingly beautiful yet poignant story of family loss, grief and regret . Winner of Best Screenplay at the Academy Awards ©, AACTA International Award © and British Academy Film Awards ©, this Golden Globe © nominated film tells the story of a man who suddenly loses his brother and is made the legal guardian of his nephew. The masterpiece Manchester by the Sea is out now on Digital. New to Blu - ray™ & DVD from May 17, 2017.
This motion picture drama follows the story of the Chandler family, a working class family from Massachusetts. After Lee's older brother Joe (Kyle Chandler, Carol, The Wolf of Wall Street) suddenly passes away from a heart attack, Lee (Casey Affleck, Inter stellar, Ocean's Thirteen) is shocked to learn that he is made the sole carer of his nephew Patrick (Lucas Hedges, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel). With barely a moment to grieve, he uproots his life and reluctantly returns to the dreary fishing town of Manchester where a traumatic homecoming awaits.
Affleck paints the ultimate portrait of grief as Lee deals with the funeral arrangements on top of his newfound responsibilities. It's a situation he accepts through gritted teeth though one that becomes more painful as his return forces him to confront the past that separated him from his hometown and his ex - wife Randi (Michelle Williams, Suite Française, Shutter Island ). This story of dark family tragedy is unflinching and exquisitely told by the superb performance from Academy Award ©, Golden Globe ©, AACTA International Award © and British Academy Film Award Best Actor Casey Affleck. Capturing the cavernous trappings of tragedies while celebrating life's messiness, Manchester by the Sea is a must - see film. Out now on Digital. New to Blu - ray™ & DVD from May 17, 2017.
