Nominated for 6 Academy Awards, including Best Actor in Leading Role, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture.

In the latest from award-winning writer and director Kenneth Longergan (You Can Count on Me, Margaret), Lee (Casey Affleck in the performance of his career), a solitary Boston janitor, has his life upended when he returns to his hometown to take care of his teenage nephew, Patrick (Lucas Hedges, Moonrise Kingdom). An emotionally rich and beautiful tale that deftly eschews sentimentality in favor of realistic, penetrating emotional insight and deeply affecting human relationships—aided by stunning performances from Affleck, Hedges, and a breathtaking Michelle Williams (Certain Women)—Manchester by the Sea is guaranteed to grab countless nominations throughout this year’s awards season.
