Editorial
One of the finest American dramas of recent years, this harrowing ensemble piece from Kenneth Lonergan is a visceral examination of grief. Michelle Williams is on career-best form, but it’s Casey Affleck’s shattering, Oscar®-winning turn as a father broken by guilt that proves impossible to shake.
