I cried like a baby

There were certainly some emotional scenes that were well-acted and brilliant:

1. When Judd shows Violet (the mother) the painting of Georgia that Beagle made, and her subtle acknowledgment of its quality

2. Beagle and Georgia in the hotel room when he has second thoughts about doing it. Awesome scene there.

3. When Easy and Marg were talking in the truck outside the cabin. He admits to his weakness and repulsion of his wife in her final moments while praising Beagle and ultimately defending his son's quality of character to Marg, who had previously stereotyped him as a loser.

It's scenes like these that make the movie great, and if you found yourself not engaged by them, it's a good bet you didn't enjoy the rest of the film.
