Aquarius and Manchester by the Sea
Aquarius is a movie about a tenant, played by the great Sonia Braga, who is the last remaining occupant of a building the owners have other plans for. She refuses to leave in spite of a generous offer to do so. Family members are encouraging her to take the offer and reduce her stress level. A thoroughly engaging movie with a very surprising, yet satisfying and hilarious finale.
Manchester by the Sea is a gritty depiction of a man (Casey Affleck) with tragic events compounding his angry and explosive character, when he is suddenly named the guardian of his 16 year old nephew after his brother's death. The editing of this film, particularly as to the use of flashbacks, is about the best I've seen. Affleck is flawless in his depiction of this complicated and erratic guy.
Don't miss either of these compelling films.
