Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
jogil84 I thought that the acting was really excellent. But I thought that the movie was horribly depressing and very long and drawn out. And then having the horse get killed really bothered me I guess that I was expecting a different kind of movie. I would never watch this again or recommend this to anyone.
tlarraya You watch this expecting to be some twist at the end that redeeems the whole movie but there isn´t. The acting was good though.
Cynthia French What the hell kind of person thinks it is a good idea to make a movie like this? Must be friends with the idiot who made Manchester By the Sea because there is something called purposeful violence in film, but there are some things that are so far embedded in taboo that you should just not go there. Divine Dog Syndrome is a film term...same thing goes for horses. What the hell drives someone to write that horrific scene into a film is beyond me. Charlie lost and lost again...the horse getting spooked would have been the moment where he saved what couldn't be saved...like himself and there is the hope. I do not care if this gets posted, but I would like you to forward this to the dick who thought it was a pivotal moment that needed to be in the final cut. Coming of age is supposed to give hope and inspire. You did neither. I grabbed a Sharpie and wrote on the dvd, "do not watch horse dies" before returning it to redbox. If someone did that for me with Manchester, I would be better off today.
mansolo I rented this movie thinking it was going to be one of those feel good movies but quite the contraire. Not to say it wasn't well done, it was very well done. Turns out it didn't have to do much,if anything, with Pete the horse who meets a sad end, but rather the struggles of a teenage boy just trying to make it. Just not the happy movie I was hoping for.
