Kate Winslet is really good in this as she is in everything she does. But they really went overboard with her lack of hygiene. If you are so depressed that you can go days without bathing or washing your hair you should not be allowed to carry a gun as a detective. In fact, most people in this town look dirty and disgusting to the point of being unrealistic. I applaud the writers and director for trying to do something different and make the actors look more like real life characters rather than Hollywood stars but most people in real life do not look like they crawled out from under a rock. The story is good but supporting actors are awful and the police are portrayed as incompetent. I know it is a small town but they really make the cops look like blubbering idiots. Great as a character piece for Kate Winslet but as a police procedure it is poorly written.
