Kenneth Lonergan’s (Margaret) extraordinary family dramedy stars Casey Affleck, Kyle Chandler and Michelle Williams.
After the death of his older brother Joe (Kyle Chandler), Lee (Casey Affleck) is shocked to learn he’s been named the sole guardian of his nephew (Lucas Hedges). Taking leave of his job, Lee reluctantly returns to his hometown to raise the spirited 15-year-old, and there must deal with a past that separated him from his wife (Michelle Williams) and left everyone whispering behind his back. An extraordinary swirl of love, anger and brittle humor, Kenneth Lonergan’s moving family dramedy awakens timeless themes of grief and the hope of redemption. D: Kenneth Lonergan, US, 2016, 137m
“See this film as soon as you can, preferably with someone you love. Casey Affleck’s portrayal is stripped-back perfection—understated, unaffected, yet stunning in depth and resonance.” Wall Street Journal
