Watched It For The First Time This Morning
How good is this f'ing movie..? I have no idea why I put off watching it for so long. I really don't.
I've poked through the threads and seen where some people find some of the characters totally confusing or thoroughly unbelievable but, I thought it was extremely well done.
The cook/waitress--husband/wife.... I've known people like that. Wife's libido is still very very strong but the husband can't always perform, he'd turn a blind eye as long as he knew who she was gonna bang. He'd rather she be safe and get laid than do it secretly and he not know who she's with or, she flat out leave him because of her needs. I notice from some of the threads that's one of the main things viewers didn't get.
I also enjoyed the relationship between the waitress and Lou Ann--Mike's wife. The small parts that add up to the sum were well done, imo.
When he gets to the "wife." I laughed. That fit right in with the rest of the movie.
Great movie. The people seem "human" and likable. And overall the scenery is gritty.

If you know anything else like this please let me know. I've got some down time from work and I'll be binge watching all kinds of movies. I've seen "Winters Bone" which I feel is along the same vein but, I may watch it again as it's been a while.
