A movie has never so successfully pulled every emotion in completely different directions so suddenly as this one did

You go from laughing, to shocked, to choking up.

Woody killing himself in the middle of the movie was such a WOW moment and the movie really took off from there

Sam Rockwell was unbelievable


I agree about the wife's accent. WTF was that. Seemed so out of place.


The twist that the guy isn't the rapist was so great. Like they gave you the wrapped up nice ending and then just took it right out from under you, making you feel exactly how the mother felt all those years. Great writing

literally said the same thing to the folks i discussed the film with the next day ...

i'm not sure what the suicide note had to do with the story, other than to develop harrelson's character, but that was as authentic a situation as i've ever seen in film ... brutally emotional, then you're taken in a completely different direction a minute later with dixon's music ...
