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

Fair enough, I think the same about the importance of execution over the story btw and yes, Nolan is a great director (a bit too overrated by some though) that can succesfully catter to very different audiences, which is cool.
