The reception at the Eccles for 'Manchester By the Sea' is reminiscent of the electricity in the room when 'Boyhood' debuted here.

Kenneth Lonergan's Manchester by the Sea: wrenching family drama like Ordinary People, In the Bedroom-Casey Affleck brilliant #Sundance2016

@AADowd
Gonna be hard to convey in words how much I loved MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. But it's my job, so guess I'll try tomorrow. #Sundance2016

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA is tremendous. The complete picture of a family moving through grief. Casey Affleck burns like nothing I've ever seen.

@wellshwood
Casey Affleck has never had a role like this -- he'll most likely never get this lucky again...but he might. Let's hope. It's a home run.

@TomiLaffly
Casey Affleck....he just grabs your heart. Takes your breath away. #ManchesterByTheSea #Sundance

If festgoers applauded drama like they do comedy, there is a sequence in MANCHESTER BY THE SEA worthy of a standing ovation

Manchester By the Sea, undoubtedly best film I've seen at #Sundance so far. Michelle Williams does *so* much with so few scenes.

Casey Affleck could earn his first Oscars nomination for 'Manchester By The Sea.' #Sundance2016

Kenneth Lonergan's "Manchester By The Sea" is an immensely sad (but not depressing), triple-A grief drama that will knock your socks off.

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA is so very Lonergan, which is to say: filled with New England, deep unhealed grief, & the most unexpected humor

Scott Renshaw ‏@scottrenshaw
Well, it looks like a long week of anticipation before I can see MANCHESTER BY THE SEA *next* Sunday.

Let the 2017 Oscars buzz begin with 'Manchester By the Sea.' #Sundance2016

You Can Count On Kenny Lonergan to deliver a great movie w/ MANCHESTER BY THE SEA. Can't see M. Damon in Casey Affleck's role. He's perfect.

'Manchester by the Sea' is heartbreaking, gorgeous, operatic--with Kenneth Lonergan at his finest. #Sundance2016

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA is ... wow. A tough, real as hell emotional marathon worth running. Casey Affleck to the front of the line. #SUNDANCE

'Manchester by the Sea' is great, great, great. Review to come.

Manchester By The Sea: Lovely to see Kenneth Lonergan back, but I'd hoped it would be with something more memorable #Sundance2016

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA: Is fantastic, and also like having your heart slowly cut out. #Sundance

But Sundance’s sleepy status could change quickly with several buzzed-about films generating heated interest over the past 24 hours. Most likely to go first is the Casey Affleck starrer Manchester by the Sea, which made its world premiere Saturday night and was followed quickly by stellar reviews. Sony Pictures Classics, Universal, Fox Searchlight, Broad Green Pictures, TriStar and Lionsgate all are vying for the Kenneth Lonergan-helmed family drama. Sources say bidding was in the $7 million range on Sunday morning.

The price tag for the drama about a grief-stricken Boston handyman (Casey Affleck) has drawn offers between $7 million and $10 million, sources tell Variety. Fox Searchlight, Amazon and Focus Features are among the companies making offers for the picture. WME is handling sales. Other distributors, such as The Weinstein Co. and Broad Green, are not bidding. The film also drew early interest from Tri-Star, but no offer.

EXCLUSIVE: Amazon is closing a $10 million deal for domestic rights to Manchester By The Sea, the Kenneth Longergan-directed drama that premiered Saturday to the best reviews of the 2016 Sundance Film Festival so far. This after an all night auction for a movie that Amazon acquired with plans for a traditional theatrical release with an awards season campaign. Sony, Universal, Fox and Lionsgate were into this and topped out in high seven figures in a WME Global brokered deal. Sierra is handling foreign so by the time all is said and done, this could be a $20 million deal and one of the biggest seen on these slopes in some time.
