1) Linda Cardellini pretends that everything is ok.
2) Linda Cardellini learns something that makes her life worse.
3) Linda Cardellini becomes depressed and/or drunk.
4) Linda Cardellini does something stupid and self-destructive.
5) Repeat steps 1-5.
That's pretty much the movie. I didn't dislike it, but I did want it to show more signs of life, to have a sense that the awful events in the movie add up to something instead of merely taking place. I guess Cardellini's choice not to desert her life in the third act counts, but the scene doesn't play like it has any stakes. John Slattery's Oxy-snorting hunter is the only colorful character, and he's so repellent that we want to spend less time with him. I understand the director's choice to go for realistic minimalism, but I don't like it.This review contains spoilers. Reveal it.
