Original, dramatic and unexpectedly funny

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2018)

This unusual and original story grabs your attention and keeps it from start to finish. The story is just so unpredictable with a combination of drama emotion laugh out loud unexpected humor. The consequences of angry actions are the thread threads that weave through the story.
The central role of grieving mother is perfectly suited to Frances McDormand. The way she delivers her caustic lines and the emotions she shows are just so her. Best role since Fargo for her.
The actors are the best to play small town folk. Sam Rockwell as bad cop is terrific. Woody is warm and funny as the sheriff. A bevy of good support is provided by Peter Dinklage and Lucas Hedges.
Worth watching.
