Omniplex Tuesday Treat - What new release movie deserves your €5?

There are two new releases to the Tralee Omniplex this week. Both look like good movies on paper but which are worthy of your hard earned fiver?

Manchester by the Sea:
Already previewed for the weekends viewing as a well depicted drama from writer/director Kenneth Lonergan, this film deals with the trials encountered by an Uncle (played by Casey Affleck) on having to raise his 16 year old nephew (Lucas Hedges) on the death of his father and returning to the community where he grew up.
Already lauded by the critics, we will know by today how popular this movie will be with the Oscar Academy.

Split:
Having taken a staggering $40M from its opening weekend in the US, making it the fourth largest January opening off time the new vehicle from M. Night Shyamalan sees a somewhat return to form for the director.This film also contains a strong performance from James McAvoy in numerous roles as the man with 23 different distinct personalities who kidnaps three girls that must escape before he unleashes the most dangerous 24th. Promises to be chilling stuff.
