Completely Overrated Politically Correct Hodgepodge

Rating: 2/10 (10 January 2018)

As much as I like Frances McDormand and Woody Harrelson, and the seemingly good intentions of this film, it is a mess of half-expressed ideas amid a mish-mash of politically correct logic and mores. McDormand's character, Marge, is a toxic robot of intolerance and simplistic vigilante justice attitude. The police are drawn as cartoonish bigots and creeps as though Black Lives Matter had written this script, and the story itself has no real structure, arc, or conclusion. It's not a comedy at all, and the basic morality of the story is a complete default to By Any Means Necessary and so forth. That this film should have just won Best Picture at the Golden Globes is a sad reflection on the academy.
