I am not sure why this story about white trash is supposed to be so great. A woman who baits her husband until he hits her in frustration and claims to be the victim? A trashy sleazy daughter who put herself into a dangerous situation? Sorry nothing to relate to here. It seems from seeing previous movies with her that McDormand didn't act so much as play herself. And Sam Rockwell? An Oscar? Really? The reviews here look like something the studio would pay for. I should have known because of the IMBD rating--anything over 7.5 is suspect an they are usually artsy-fartsy movies only some so-called critic could enjoy.
