How does this movie have an 8+ rating??

Rating: 2/10 (9 July 2018)

On the surface it ticks off all the boxes. Great premise and a wonderful cast. Frances McDormand is brilliant as always. So is Rockwell and Harrelson.
But the comedic part seems to rely much on profanity filled dialogue. There are some great moments, no doubt about that. Samara Weawing is stellar as the clueless girlfriend. And I know many will enjoy the scene with the character of Mildred unleashing her attack on the catholic church.
The movie starts to crumble when Mildred start making some over the top and completely unrealistic rash choices. And when the Rockwells character suddenly changes personality, it just becomes very forced.
My biggest issue however, is the very very unsatisfying end to the movie. If you like your movies wrapped up with a conclusion, or just some kind of closure - stay away from this one. My fellow viewers were asking if there was a sequel or another part to the movie that we could watch.
If they had just made the ending a lot better much of my grievances could be forgiven or looked past. As it stands, the movie just comes across as overrated. Which is a shame for the talented acting that it contains in abundance.
