He is superb in the more emotional scenes which I won't spoil, but I think you could figure out which ones I'm referring to should you see the movie. You can definitely sense what he's feeling at all times, particulary whenever he's just trying to figure out how he is going to be Patrick's guardian. Could be a 5 now that I think about it.Bryan L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11734763991830926605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-17468166216006206592017-01-28T19:20:56.555-05:002017-01-28T19:20:56.555-05:00What do you think is the best scene from each of t...What do you think is the best scene from each of the supporting actress nominees?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-13177189271760718702017-01-28T19:16:50.035-05:002017-01-28T19:16:50.035-05:00The reason I put Manchester by the Sea so high, de...The reason I put Manchester by the Sea so high, despite its many flaws, is that I think its strengths really override them beautifully.

Lonnergan does have a good ear for dialogue and the flashbacks were well-done. This movie really relies on Affleck's performance and he is very capable in it. However, I wasn't a fan of a couple of the performances, particularly Williams in her "Oscar scene" and one of the kid's girlfriends. The musical score does get annoying at points where Lonnergan should've just frankly let the scenes play out by themselves. Not a bad film, but it won't make my final Top 10 for 2016. Broderick's appearance was also kind of distracting.<br /><br />3.5/5 for the movie.<br /><br />Affleck-4.5 <br />Williams-2.5<br />Chandler-4<br />Hedges-3.5 <br />Mol-3.5<br /><br />Bryan L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11734763991830926605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-73491378715582150312017-01-28T19:14:47.624-05:002017-01-28T19:14:47.624-05:00Calvin:

His performance really works well though given how little he says, yet Pawar is still able to convey so well all the fear and confusion as he tries to find his way. He is equally good though in portraying the slowly growing ease in the boy once he finds his new home.)<br /><br />Kidman - 4(A truly supportive supporting performance. I thought she managed a very strong impact in her relatively limited screentime. She brings so much genuine warmth with her performance that you absolutely believe her love for both of her sons. Kidman however manages to find the nuance within the complications of such a relationship too. She's very good in the way she so wonderfully realizes her own strains while maintaining a general optimism all the same, showing that although the problems do effect her they never change her nature. I really loved what she with the role, so really I could go higher.)<br /><br />Wenham - 3.5(He's given less to do than Kidman but I thought he also offered a moving and honest depiction of a good hearted person in his early scenes. Then later, even though he wasn't given too much focus, he did a credible job of portraying a more concerned father. I particularly liked his scene where he scolded Saroo after his treatment of Mantosh.)<br /><br />Mara - 3(She's perfectly fine really and if someone else gave this performance I'd probably end it there. She just seems miscast though as just the standard love interest.)<br /><br />Ladwa and Jadhav - 3(I actually thought both were very good at portraying the difficult state of Mantosh but the film just didn't seem to care.)<br /><br />Mike:<br /><br />1.Kidman<br />2.Davis<br />3.Williams<br />4.Harris<br />5.Spencer<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Edward/Tony: Kyle MacLachlan<br />Susan: Holly Hunter<br />Hutton: Alec Baldwin<br />Anne: Anne Bancroft<br />Bobby Andes: Harry Dean Stanton<br />Ray Marcus: Nicolas Cage <br />Lt.
