Complex plot, fascinating characters, tragicomic stories. Small town broken marriages, madness, bitterness, suicide. Not Andy Griffith.
Frances doing her normal peculiar small town wife role, and she does it good.
Slow pace but a masterclass in acting by Frances McDormand. She Carries the show until the very end even when it drags in the middle
I love her! As an actress and as a character in the movie. So sincere in every moment, no sugarcoating.
Slow, depressing, and made me think about life, family, and mortality. Very Good. Almost amazing.
The acting holds this show

Noah is a New York City schoolteacher with one novel published (book entitled A Person who Visits a Place) and he is struggling to write a second book. He is happily married with four children, but resents his dependence on his wealthy father-in-law.
