Customer Ratings & Reviews

This film garnered major praise from critics and film goers alike, however, I found it lacking all around. I am always happy to see Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights) and Michelle Williams (anything) in a movie, but that was it. Casey Affleck kept the same stone block wall up for the whole movie and he wins accolades? Reviewers need to see more emotional films to judge more. The ending sucked...like let's not close this movie at all. We ran out of time or budget to finish? I think I will take this back or sell it to a second hand store...not worth my time or money.

I did not care for the movie. The story line was a good one, but I am not into watching a movie that has the f word every couple of sentences. When I think of Boston I think of more a "proper" demure, maybe that's not reality anymore. I felt like a deer in headlights wasn't enjoying the movie but, wanted to know what happened in the end. Unfortunately for me, I can not get my time back.

Even though this movie won many awards, I found it very difficult to follow the character flow. My mother, husband and I tried desperately to make it to the end, but failed. We could not keep characters story lines straight and found it to be boring and too slow moving. I love rainy day movie watching, but this one just isn't it.

I was disappointed that it moved so slowly that I lost interest. There were too many F words that were not needed in the script. Felt like it was scripted by a teenager. I had hoped for more because of the advertising. Way to dreary a film to watch and not be depressed.

Don't see what the academy awards saw in this movie. I don't see acting, I see the actor being his grumpy self. So much dialog and just staring at each other with nothing being said. Didn't like the movie. Glad I didn't spend big money on going to the theater.

There was so much hype about this movie and I couldn't wait until I could buy it. I bought it, watched it, and I really don't understand all the hype! It was very slow moving and the ending was horrible!!! Was a waste of money!

It was a good story but the back & forth from the present to the past made it confusing. Only until I watched it with my mom that I had to explain to her what was happening as far a he is remebering the past.

I don't understand what all the hoopla and raves were about when it was released. I just found it depressing, and it seemed to be unresolved when it ended. Not a movie that I would want to watch again.

Gloomy with a capital G. I just don't get what all the hype was about. The best performance in my opinion was that of actor who played the son. I was disappointed.

This movie was too long and so slow to develop its plot. Very confusing and hard to follow. Worth watching once for scenery and acting is quite good.

It won awards ( best actor ) , but I think other actors did as good or better. My wife thought it was pretty good, but not my kind of movie.

The movie would have been 10 times better with half the language. It wasn’t necessary to communicate the story.

This movie was well acted, but very depressing. The story dragged on too long and ultimately went nowhere

Movie was ok, but definitely not Oscar material. Denzel got robbed. There were so many more good movies than this.

I did not like the movie as it was too sad and hated the ending. Cast was good just not a good script.

I found myself getting up to do laundry or go to kitchen

This movie was extremely overrated . I’d skip it and save two hours of your time.

It is a sad movie with an ending that has no conclusion. It leaves you waiting.

It was very boring the ending was horrible and just could not keep my attention.

I wasn't overly impressed with this movie, kinda slow and hard to get into.
