Lee Chandler is a brooding, irritable loner who works as a handyman for a Boston apartment block. One damp winter day he gets a call summoning him to his hometown, north of the city. His brother's heart has given out suddenly, and he's been named guardian to his 16-year-old nephew. As if losing his only sibling and doubts about raising a teenager weren't enough, his return to the past re-opens an unspeakable tragedy.

Just go ahead and give Casey Affleck the Oscar. This tale of a broken man grieved with tragedy drifting through life works solely because of how great Affleck's performance is. You can tell exactly how he's feeling even though he keeps everything bottled up inside. The rest of the cast is also fantastic. The movie is very slow paced but only found myself bored a few times. The ending is also just okay I get that it's life and life just goes on, it's just shitty for are main character destined to never move past his tragedy.
