Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Fantastically shot and acted this is one brilliant film about grief, loss and family with compelling characters and a stunning setting the story follows Casey Affleck's character taking on his nephew, son of his Now late brother and shows the growth of the characters post the death of the relative. Fantastically structured and extremely emotional this is a brilliant movie

Very very good indeed ! The play of the actors indescribable ! Casey - number one

Truly a lot of attention for detail went into this movie. It is intelligent, quirky, meditative. The photography in particular is breathtakingly gorgeous. Few directors can make a picture look so enticing through images. Kenneth Lonergan's photographer made art with his work. The soundtrack deserves much praise as well. Really heavenly classical music. Placed at the right moments, the classical soundtrack really powered this in itself tedious story line. Many people hated the classic music though, but the music and the gorgeous photography were the only reason I kept watching this movie till the end.I kept hoping something extraordinary would happen in this tedious story, but no, everything stayed as dreary and boring as in everyday life.The story just is mind numbing boring, except in the middle of the story then an avalanche of misery and violence erupts. But as fast as these emotions rise up, as quickly are they played down again. What follows is a story about how to take care of a teenager who has lost his mother. Who wants to see that for more than 2 hours long? Casey Affleck really acts great though. But some other supporting and unfortunately also some leading characters (the teenager) just act at a mediocre level. Not bad, but not elevating either.If the director would have cut 45 minutes out of this too long and therefore dreary story, it could have become a great delicate portrait of a broken family. Now it only pleases the critics and other people, who are into documentary styled stories about grief stricken families.

Our confidence is not as great as we thought. its size, until faced with the destiny. Do not tell me never to do it, it could make life. The film tells this very very well. Affleck deserves the reward. We bored Heavily made, exaggerated, with the biography player. Very simple and good acting.
