Overview
After his older brother passes away, Lee Chandler is forced to return home to care for his 16-year-old nephew. There he is compelled to deal with a tragic past that separated him from his family and the community where he was born and raised.
One of my favorite traits of many good films is subtlety. This film had that and so much more in spades. In a way it reminded me of Blue Valentine in the way that it made me feel. Easily one of the year’s best.
(side note: How did Michelle Williams get second billing? She was in the movie for only a few minutes)
