BLOOPER REEL/OUTTAKES

In this episode of Beckner & Lipscomb Movie Reviews, we critique the 2016 film Manchester by the Sea [ Drama] written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan and starring Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Kyle Chandler, and Lucas Hedges.

In this episode of Beckner & Lipscomb Movie Reviews, we critique the 2005 film Hard Candy [ Drama, Horror].

This film by director David Slade and screenwriter Brian Nelson is – to be honest, a difficult film to watch. We compare it to a very adult version of the classic story Little Red Riding Hood – except in this version, it may be the wolf who is being hunted!
