Just OK

This past weekend we saw Manchester By The Sea. Perhaps because we had such high expectations, we were disappointed.


Casey Affleck is a very talented actor, but frankly, I though his portrayal was flat. I most liked the actor who played Casey's nephew, but perhaps because I have a 16 year old son.


The movie was on the longer side for reasons that were not apparent and then the ending just dropped. Literally. [For those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, I won't give details about the ending but you will understand.]


Have you seen any good movies recently? I am open to your recommendations.

Sorry Manchester was a disappointment, I thought it was incredibly powerful. There are many great movies to see: Fences, Miss Sloane, Hell or High Water, HIDDEN FIGURES, Moonlight, and I loved Lala Land.

I saw La La Land and thought it was sweet. I've heard Hidden Figures is great. It's next on the list.

Unfortunately I never get to the movies but very much want to see Hidden Figures, Moonlight, and Fences. I have heard nothing but rave reviews from my friends who have them.

I haven't seen it. I want to see La La Land like Fred but a few people I know who saw it didn't like it.

See it on the big screen if at all possible to get the full experience. Did you see Hidden Figures? Such powerful messages...

See it on the BIG screen to get the full effect. I know its a "thing" to dislike it, but I really loved from start to finish. And you must see Hidden Figures. Everyone in the world has to see that.

Go to Hidden Figures asap. So very great, full of positive messages for all of humanity.

Gosling and Stone have great chemistry and opening no. was great fun and technically terrific BUT not the great musical hyped to be. also loved the passion about jazz.
