I didn't believe a single performance.


Frances' character was wildly overwrought - almost like a parody of what someone might think a rough mid-westerner female might be. Woody was fine - until [spoiler]he blew his brains out right off the bat[/spoiler]. Sam Rockwells' character was one of the worst performances I've seen from him. The plot was so underdeveloped that I didn't care about her daughter or the situation one iota. It was basically the "Let's watch Frances say 'Fuck' a bunch of times!" Show. And why was Dinklage even in this? He served no meaningful purpose except to be a dwarf. Maybe he was just available and bored. No way this is a contender for best *anything*.

Rockwell was outstanding, and I really loved the movie. It was simplistic and yet with a deeper meaning.

I have to agree, the characters were so over-the-top.
