Saw it last week with a surprisingly full house for a non-sequel, non-franchise movie. The writing, direction and performances were all amazing. Neighbor behind me also saw it and can't stop talking about it. We agree that it was an extremely "real" feeling film and that everyone in it seemed consumed by something; loss, anger, cancer or whatever. Frances McDormand is always great but she topped herself in this one. Similarly, Sam Rockwell went beyond his usual greatness. Woody Harrelson gave the best performance I've ever seen from him. Caleb Landry Jones is new to me (having only seen him in American Made before this) but he can keep up with the big names. Just a great, great movie.
