This film got quite a few Oscar nominations so I popped out to see it. It was incredibly well done, but OMG it was grim. The story is a slow unfolding, with tragedy after tragedy piling up on this family. The scenery, wintertime around Boston and Manchester MA, was lovely but grim. The acting was all top notch but grim. Even the music, largely acapella choral music, was grim.
Funerals, deaths, tragedies, lots of long scenes of nothing but people staring.
Did I mention grim?
