Description

Leslie (Andrea Riseborough) is a West Texas single mother struggling to provide for her son (Owen Teague) when she wins the lottery and a chance at a good life. But a few short years later the money is gone and Leslie is on her own, living hard and fast at the bottom of a bottle as she runs from the world of heartbreak she left behind. With her charm running out and with nowhere to go, Leslie is forced to return home to her former friends Nancy and Dutch (Allison Janney, Stephen Root). Unwelcome and unwanted by those she wronged, it's a lonely motel clerk named Sweeney (Marc Maron) who takes a chance when no one else will. With his support, Leslie comes face to face with the consequences of her actions, a life of regret, and a second chance to make a good life for her and her son.

  • Great acting, odd movie

    The acting was great, most of the movie was depressing and odd, at least it has an upbeat ending.

    This movie is what I call a "tough watch". It's so well acted (by all the actors - Owen? Amazing!!) that you have to wonder how they took themselves to this place for the duration of the filming. It's a poignant story of someone just making a series of bad decisions and those that have to deal with the repercussions as well as those that unwittingly facilitate the disease. Or, maybe they know. This movie is worthy of all the buzz is getting.

    We have seen this movie before. Surprised the attention it has been getting. Performance is fine, but again, seen it before by others. More deserving actresses for Oscar nomination.
