Michelle Williams Receives Buckets of Praise from 'Manchester By the Sea' Director

Michelle Williams hits the red carpet at the Manchester By the Sea premiere held during the 2016 BFI London Film Festival on Saturday (October 8) at Odeon Leicester Square in London, England.

The 36-year-old actress was joined at the event by co-star Casey Affleck and the film’s writer and director, Kenneth Lonergan.

Kenneth recently praised Michelle in an op-ed piece that he wrote for Variety.

“Physically, she is small. In person, she gives the impression of being very delicate. But there is nothing small or delicate about the volcano of feeling she has on tap, ready to loose into whatever channels the specifics of her role suggest,” Kenneth wrote. “Despite my long-ingrained opinion that writing and acting are essentially the same process, there are times when I just don’t understand that extra bit of magic by which an actor actually becomes what I can only write down. I’ve wanted to work with her for years. But I was totally unprepared for just how hard she works and how much she has to offer.”

FYI: Michelle is wearing a Louis Vuitton dress, shoes, and clutch.
