Neither Funny nor Profound

Rating: 4/10 (17 December 2018)

I really don't see how this film is funny. It's beautifully shot and got great actors, but really who cares ? The basic plot doesn't even make sense. It destroys the immersion and makes you wonder about the logic of the script at times. I even suspect it is made just for the Oscars. I mean it's so similar to August Osage County with the family theme and slow music etc. I definitely consider it as a cheap shot aimed at the Oscars. The portrayal of the South and countryside just doesn't make sense, and I suspect that the writers never lived in those areas.
