Firmly in the Oscar hunt, “Manchester By The Sea” is a powerful drama driven by tremendous performances from Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams, and sensitive writing and direction by Kenneth Lonergan. And beautifully weaving it together is the stirring score by Lesley Barber — and for some lucky readers, we have a copy of the soundtrack signed by the composer to get into your hands.
The drama kicks off when the life of Lee (Affleck), a solitary Boston janitor, is transformed upon returning to his hometown to take care of his teenage nephew after his brother passes away. Lee’s return to the Massachusetts fishing village where his family resided for generations forces him to face his haunted past and learn that familial love, community, and hope are waiting for him there.
