Manchester by the Sea (2016)

Plot:  A Depressed Uncle has to take care of his orphaned Niece in present day New England.

I saw this as a favor, since I usually don't like this kind of movie.  And no surprise, I didn't like it. The acting was good, and I suppose if you wanted to make a movie about a lot of average depressing people, having awkward - but "meaningful"- conversations this does it about well as possible

That aside, two things annoyed me.  First, the movie is 137 minutes, and literally 37 minutes consists of  pauses and ordinary people doing ordinary things - like walking, watching TV, driving, fixing dinner, staring in into space, drinking, opening doors, etc.  The pace is excruciatingly slow. Two, everyone is profane ('cause Hollywood 'average people' always cuss like sailors) and they talk *very* slowly  and awkwardly.  It was like listening to a 45 record at 33 speed.

Summary: A well made family drama about average people.  It bored the hell out of me.
