This movie has and will continue to win many awards. A modern version of the great American stories like “Grapes of Wrath” or the songs of Arlo Guthrie. This haunting story is playing out for an increasing tribe of people in our country and is both thought-provoking and haunting. Francis McDormand offers a MasterClass in acting with vulnerability and understatement. You won’t stop thinking about this one for a long time. It doesn’t have a traditionally redemptive ending, but I was changed through the watching.
