jeez, I pay money to enter a theatre and be entertained.....and do not need as the 5 star raters say a brilliant thoughtful movie that is poignant with emotional depth and real life. I get enough real life everyday to not need a sad slow moving flic that makes me feel hollow at its end; even hoping it would end sooner. Sorry, I would like to feel good or at least like the main hangdog underachieving character who in the end just bumbles off. Damn, life can be depressing enough without making a movie of it and calling it brilliant.But, thankfully it did end!
B O R I N G !!! About fell asleep. Hated the ending.
This movie felt like a play in many ways. Incredible acting, poignant and very real in the portrayal of acute depression. Takes us into the despair Lee was feeling in a powerful way. Yes, it was like a slice of life, and no happy ending. But the interaction between the self-centered teen and the grieving uncle was well done.
Brilliant and heartbreaking.
boring boring slow should have got up and left not wasted time
Grinding, real life--probably will never forget the main character's psychological hurdle. Had a high rating from Rotten Tomatoes. However, found the movie unsatisfying---like real life often is. Just wanted something to feel better about on CHRISTMAS DAY. A supporting actress nomination for Michelle Williams is not justifiable. Affleck gave an authentic portrayal of someone who cannot---and may not want to---recover from loss.
It was one of the best movies I have seen..
The ending left you feeling unsatisfied. The movie was deep of raw emotion in a all too real life situation. I guess I wanted a happier ending or at least some closure.
the whole boring movie,bad acting, bad musical score , not great photography need I go on?
So, ok; if you are a sensitive "cultured" type who enjoys depressing slow moving emotion and some decent acting and do not get bored easily......then this is your five star. However, an average viewer like me who cannot understand depth and brilliance will see this as a sad slow moving tale which I wished would either pickup or end. Yeah, just the average Joe like me will be shaking his head as he leaves the theatre wishing he were just a brilliant compassionate viewer.
