The latest film from award-winning writer/director Kenneth Lonergan (You Can Count on Me), the life of a solitary Boston janitor is transformed when he returns to his hometown to take care of his teenage nephew. The story of the Chandlers, a working-class family living in a Massachusetts fishing village for generations, Manchester by the Sea is a deeply poignant, unexpectedly funny exploration of the power of familial love, community, sacrifice and hope.  Boasting exceptional performances from a cast that includes Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams and Kyle Chandler, Lonergan coaxes beauty and resonance out of one family’s emotionally fractured story.
