Casey Affleck's 'Company' Bets Its Power on Silence, Not Spectacle

Casey Affleck's new film "Company" puts its trust in the act of telling a story, using the accounts its characters carry to work through grief, regret and forgiveness. Nick Nolte and Adelaide Clemens anchor that work, leaning on restraint rather than showmanship to carry the material. The film draws its strength from stillness, letting quiet and patience do what noise might otherwise claim. It is, at its center, a film about how much a story, and the people who hold it, can carry.
