Tired of political preaching

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2017)

If you are making a movie about an unsolved murder, you don't need to add any "topical" narrative that white guys harass black people. You don't need to hammer in how bad someone is with the false narrative currently trending, i.e. that cops are racist and like to torture and hunt black people. Just the same old stereotype of "southern" cops being bad cops.
There were just so many things that I wasn't buying, i.e. wasn't believable. The constant harassment of Sam Rockwell of Caleb Landry Jones, like in the middle of the street, or in the bar. Just didn't buy it would ever happen.
Like the priest scene. Never would happen. Only in fantasy writing land.
Like the dentist was gonna use torturous methods against Frances. None of this would EVER happen. Just made no sense and poorly written.
This movie was one not believable scene after the other. For example, the Police chief coughing up blood and spitting it in Frances' face. Never would have happened.
Writers: STOP WRITING DIALOGUE AND SCENARIOS that never would happen.
The one scene that actually felt real, was the daughter scene needing the car and they started arguing about it. But to go to another scene that would NEVER happen. Ex-husband throws over the table and tries to strangle Frances, then the son takes a knife to ex, and then the new girl (way too young) makes a "comedic" entrance and reacts totally in a way no one would ever react.
Unfortunately, it was soooo painful to watch, but I guess with so many worse movies out, the below mediocre films get a lot of praise.
