TASTE!!.. Doesn't that apply to you as well. Its not a secret that off beat cinema is boring to watch as hell, and people who love cinema usually tends to watch those,u will never see a general movie goer go out and watch artsy cinema.. but a movie lover will go out and watch the big block buster.. so instead of Michael Bay I prefer Christopher Nolan movies which are blend of both world.. perfect story structure, engaging screenplay, beautifully composed shots and great sense of music. 

Manchester by the Sea is not even what I would call an "artsy" movie (neither a blockbuster) and most people don't find it boring as all the userscores from many webs indicate, is just a great drama, problem here is that Lawlight level on cinema is so low than he calls artsy to anything that requires a minimun of sensibility/empathy/maturity and doesn't have superheroes, robots, aliens, explosions, spaceships, ridiculously convoluted plots and things like that.

I m Just pointing out you said it was about Taste. Manchester by the sea is a good movie, not great but thats subjective to my taste.. I dont think there are any bad stories, what makes it bad is the way its told and executed on the big screen, just recently i saw The Judge, the story was great but the execution was sloppy.. even a story about boy meeting girl story could be told in an amazing way.. (titanic).. and this is where Nolan comes in because his movie can cater to different audiences which include law light who like the big explosion & stuff and also respect audience like me and you with mature store telling and doesnt take his audience as idiots.. Barring the third act of Interstellar and TDKR
