I watched it for McDormand and Harrelson. The plot was ok. The dialogue was often a joke; but this is not comedy. Nothing about the style or content of this movie is funny. There are a few funny lines, however, many dramas have that. It is a drama. There's nothing parody or satirical about this, nor is it a funny movie. The characters are unbelievable. Writers seem to be box-ticking for social credit scores: racist white cops, rednecks in the south, etc. There's no logic to people's actions. The cop isn't a good guy trying to get out. The mother is irrational, so is the father. The chief is most likeable, yet he's spend all these years not trying to find more answers in the case. Nothing like a classic movie. A sub par one. Sad, given the good cast.
