Amoral and Boring, though with good acting

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2018)

The movie itself, as well as the reviews make it seem like we are watching a heroic mother fighting to get justice. This is not even remotely the case. Our protagonist is a reprehensible creature, who is so absurdly selfish and plainly disgusting, that she won't stop at anything to somehow sate her feeling of guilt. This is not about justice, or even about revenge, her motivation is purely selfish. Therefore, the entire point of this movie is watching a horrible person, as well as a terrible mother, attempt to lie to herself and try to blame someone else.
The acting, especially from Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson, was really good though. I absolutely hated Frances Mcdormand's character, so if that was indeed her reaction (though I doubt it), then she was great as well.
