Ep. 8 / Manchester by the Sea (2016) / A Beckner and Lipscomb Review

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.

This film has been described as being brutally depressing by many – but amazing engaging, nonetheless. Perhaps this is because, while it is arguably seemingly nihilistic in worldview – it is nonetheless an introspective pan into humanity and one man’s journey into and through immense pain. Love him or hate him Casey Affleck’s character offers an unflinching and unvarnished introspective into a situation that, like for so many other people in the real world, he simply cannot get past – and yet is jarringly forced back into an unrelenting re-accounting of.

Ep. 7 / Hard Candy (2005) / A Beckner and Lipscomb Review

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!
