I really don't understand how can this movie be funny. Beautifully shot and great actors, but who cares? The basic plot doesn't even make sense. It destroys immersion and sometimes makes you doubt the logic of the script. I even doubt it was made just for the Oscars. I mean it's very similar to Osage County's home theme and slow music etc. I definitely think it's a cheap shot for the Oscars. The depictions of the South and the countryside are meaningless, and I suspect the writers never lived in those areas.
