A surprisingly disturbing story with some genuinely hilarious moments and mostly great performances, it loses steam after the hour mark but it's still entertaining the entire way through. Very inspired by the Coen brothers but unfortunately never quite reaches the same heights. I particularly liked the dialogue here and most of the characters are suitably memorable for their distinct idiosyncrasies. Worth a watch. A24 continues to release some of the weirdest and most interesting films around.

you wouldn't believe me if i told you what this movie is about, but i will say that Nickelback is involved.

mostly just impressed that it exists.

Dipshit FARGO is great. Get weird.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

plot twist of the decade

Intermittently funny, but relies far too much on its ultimate reveal (which is bizarre but vaguely expected), and then loses steam in the third act.

A big problem for me is the tonal imbalance. This is a quirky film about quirky characters, but set under vaguely dramatic circumstances. I say you either go full comedy or full drama. Even if you go fully dramatic, the bizarre twist then becomes even funnier, I think. There is a lack of commitment in this film’s delivery, I think.

I also saw a lot of potential in this kind of midwestern Creed fan subculture that could lend itself to a really funny subversive comedy. Growing up in a community of people not unlike this, I can see a hundred different gags that could work as a send up or embrace of these types of dudes.

my full unfiltered thoughts pretty much this entire movie:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHABITCHWHATTHEFUCK

It’s kinda like a southern version of Fargo but not as clever. But… did it cum?

An ludicrously well-executed mix of Zoo, Fargo, and Buzzard.

.....excuse me, but what in the living hell did I just watch?!?

This is the funniest movie I’ve seen in years. I mean, when that reveal hit I was in hysterical laughter for minutes! The writing is what makes this movie work so well. One of my favorite screenplays of the year. The last 5-10 minutes make the movie go out with a whimper instead of a bang, but if you love dark humor then you will love this movie.

Did I mention that this movie was funny, because it is hilarious.
Go watch it!

Coming soon

Horse boys are even worse than horse girls

This is tied with Serenity for best twist of the year. Started with a Staind song and ended with Nickleback. Perfect.
