The film is nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Affleck), Best Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams as Lee's ex-wife Randi), Best Supporting Actor (Hedges), and Best Director (Kenneth Lonergan).Īffleck has emerged as somewhat of an Oscar frontrunner, despite the allegations of sexual harassment that received some attention this winter. Lee is forced to face the demons of his own past in Manchester By The Sea (the town) as he learns that Joe named him as guardian to his teen son Patrick (Lucas Hedges).
Manchester By The Sea follows janitor Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) who returns to his hometown upon hearing about his older brother Joe's death. But be sure to get your tissues ready, because this one will trigger the waterworks. If you don't feel like watching the tearjerker film on the big screen, you can stream Manchester By The Sea from providers such as Amazon Video, iTunes, and YouTube, starting at $4.99. Manchester By The Sea was just released on DVD this week and you can still catch the film, which is nominated for six Oscars, in theaters. You might be wondering: is Manchester By The Sea on Netflix yet? The movie is available on Netflix through the company's DVD-by-mail service, but it isn't available to stream on the service just yet. If you're still trying to catch up on all the critically acclaimed nominees before Hollywood's biggest night, don't worry - there's still time.
Finally, the Oscars will take place on Sunday night after what has seemed like a long wait this winter.
