‘Manchester by the Sea’ Trailer: Casey Affleck returns to the Fishermen’s Town
Casey Affleck is like Ben Affleck, except talented, and better looking. I very much enjoy his acting chops, and I will chop-up the excitement generated by this melancholic trailer and snort it, taking it straight to the cinephile-dome.
Oscar season is coming, and you can tell because new movie trailers have more crying and fewer superheroes and villains. And maybe they’ll make you cry, too.
See the trailer for Manchester by the Sea, which stars Casey Affleck as a man tasked with caring for his teenage nephew after his brother (Kyle Chandler) dies. The family drama premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, where Amazon Studios scooped it up for a whopping $10 million and critics rained praise. It also stars Michelle Williams, so yes, this is a movie you should probably see in order to get your Oscar ballot ready.
