Frances was good , every other aspect was overrated.

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 2018)

I cannot understand how a movie with numerous plot holes and a non ending could be so acclaimed. From the beginning we learn Mildred is determined to find justice and won't let the police rest until they do their job. The chief explains that there is absolutely zero evidence to follow up on, no witnesses, no forensics, nothing. So we should expect Mildred to say, "well if you won't follow up, I will" and take on the case herself, right. Because she's so distraught and determined. Nope. She just keeps poking him with a stick saying "solved it yet chief?"
And why exactly does the guy come in the store, harass Mildred, and almost confess? He had nothing to do with it and isn't even from there. We learn nothing about the character to explain that.
And of course the case isn't solved. You can assault high schoolers, throw people out a window and punch witnesses in the face, attack a dentist, burn down the police station and nobody gets arrested. How could they solved a cold case?
And oh yeah, they actually did have forensics the whole time. That's how they cleared the random guy who had nothing to do with it but repeatedly bragged about doing it.
