Got invited to see it knowing nothing about it and thought it was absolute dog shit. Was shocked to find out after that it's being critically lauded. The writing is garbage. Seriously at times thought they were intentionally making a cheesy bad movie with some of the lines/scenes. Makes some sense that it was written by a foreigner because it couldn't stop whiffing. Compares very unfavorably with say Winter's Bone (also set in rural MO) or True Detective Season one.
