The greatest disappoint in recent memory was Manchester by the Sea. I let myself get caught up in the buzz, so I see it, but by chance AFTER watching many of the other 2017 Oscar movies. To this day I can’t believe Casey won that Oscar. He sucked, the movie sucked. It SUCKED! How the hell did Andrew Garfield not win for Hacksaw Ridge? For that matter how the hell did Moonlight beat Hacksaw Ridge? Sorry off on a tangent...😃

That moment at 22:19 was so genuinely wholesome how they both got so giddy. You can really tell that they're both cut from the same cloth in how they approach life.

I love that first bit of dialogue. Here's how I heard it: Matthew: "Can you tell me about that?" Jeff: "This is a hard part, uh, you know, of uhhh, acting, you know? Let me give it to you as best I can, uh, you know. Certain things have come to light, and uh, ya know, has it ever occurred to you, that uh, instead of uh, you know running around, uh uh, blaming me, given the nature of all this new shit, you know it, it it, this could be a uh, a lot more uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean it's not just, it might not be, just such a simple, uh... you know?"

McConaughey has this wise, salt of the earth, no nonsense approach but whatever he's gathered from all of it Bridges will blow up any little pretense that exists in it. He's coming at it sideways everytime. McConaughey responds to it, paying attention to everything. I could honestly watch these two for 10 hours.

Bridges just makes the person across from him feel so important so seamlessly... And they love him, they all love him. He's Magic... And not a bad actor either.

McConaughey's laugh gets me everytime.
